It must cost a fortune in software and engineering staff to keep the XM operation running. Seems to me a sound business decision to cut those costs and just mandate by court order that the systems stay kept up at all times. I can’t imagine that the satellites and repeaters would have the audacity to defy an injunction.

You doth take that quote out of context. If anything, Shakespeare is PRAISING lawyers. Taken in whole with the rest of that scene, this is basically Shakespeare’s acknowledgment that the first thing any potential tyrant must do to eliminate freedom is to “kill all the lawyers.”

“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers”.

— (Act IV, Scene II, Henry VI (Part 2) by William Shakespeare).
