The article suggests lengthening as the solution. Really?
The whole point is that these are short enough for Twitter.
I suggest in 7-character bit.ly, they start using the whole keyspace instead of a 1 at the front of another 6-character keyspace. That would help.
But it was odd to me that all the suggestions were pointed toward the shortening providers, as if the users had no responsibility whatsoever.
How about:
1) Don't put your documents in the cloud. 2) If you do put your documents in the cloud, OneDrive isn't secure. 3) Don't make shortened URLs to your documents. And don't share document URLs online.
When you see people like Kent Hovind spend 10 years in prison for structuring, and every other case against him fall apart, you see what a witch hunt it is.
The reality is, they probably didn't like his stand on creation. So much for free speech...
Similarly, even though I detest absolutely everything about Hansmeier and think he (and his wife) deserve punishment, I wouldn't convict her (or anyone) for structuring if I were on the jury.
Laws like this are certainly ones where jury nullification needs to be invoked.

I don't have time to waste on half-finished crap, which will always be half-finished, because it's created by programmers without QA teams.
