You know, if you had just written the first sentence, this comment would have been fine. Reading the silly digression about Guantanamo took this from "reasonable point" to "are you serious?"
When I first saw the site I thought great for the developer. When I read the analogy I rethought my position.
I think the analogy is somewhat apt. The legal system is the mechanism for enforcing contracts and bypassing it out of convenience should be frowned upon. Habeous corpus was inconvenient so it was bypassed. I'm opposed to the suspension of habeous corpus and in the interest of consistency I ought to be opposed to what this developer did.
