The law depends on compute power
This is the perfect example of what happens when a programmer (or in this case a mathematician) thinks that the law operates like a computer.<p>It doesn&#x27;t.<p>The law is interpreted by humans, based on case law, and attempts to understand the intentions of the law as written.<p>Many programmers don&#x27;t like this, but that is how the law operates.<p>(If the author would like to go down another rabbit hole, perhaps he should consider if encrypted information is actually published at all. After all, well designed encryption renders information quite close to random noise in the absence of a key. Perhaps making encrypted information available isn&#x27;t actually publishing - maybe it is the act of posting how to decrypt it that is the act of publishing.<p>Note that here, the law would answer &quot;it depends&quot;, and that is fine.)
