1/ Last week, Paradigm filed an amicus brief in United States v. Roman Storm, a case that could dictate the future of software development in the United States.

2/ The stakes in the Storm case are high: an unfair result could chill not just software development and innovation in crypto and fintech, but have ripple effects across open source and AI development too.

3/ If prosecutors want to dramatically change how we think about criminal liability under American law, the place to do it is *Congress,* not the courts. In the meantime, we urge a return to common sense, due process, and fairness.
