I fail to see your argument that legal threats are also threats of violence. If they were, I'd just threaten to shoot people. But, it turns out threatening to sue someone IS legal, and threatening to shoot them is NOT.
Well, the fact that something is legal doesn't mean it's not violent. They do threaten by physical force, otherwise what's the imperative?
Alas. I can't afford to travel to James, and kick him, and I can't afford a lawyer (to kick him?) .... So...I'll just hope James wants to repay / sent info....just like I'll hope pirate wasn't a thief, and that there's some money left for the bitcoinica liquidator to distribute. GLWT, huh?
Yeah, but I'm sure many of us can afford to travel. Let's hope it never comes to any extremes. It seems he has started sharing the information.
