Comment on Ask HN: What're the craziest hacks you've done to launch?parent

Were they testing in bad faith (ie trying to DDOS it to not pay)?

Basing on "USA national league sports organization" it feels like they were reasonable

I'm not sure what you are saying here. Are you saying because they are a national sports organization they are probably honorable? I definitely didn't feel that way after working with them. They had no idea about how technology worked (granted, this was 20 years ago so they have probably fixed that deficit internally).

They did have a clear understanding of how to use litigation, and they played to their strengths, which I can respect.

I meant that I think that they're operating at really big scale (big events?), so their requirements and testing them feels reasonable
