governments are not so enamored with the “just posting code” defense, especially anymore. look at the recent Roman Storm case or what happened with decss back in the day

Roman Storm didn't "just post code." He created, and profited from, a service used by criminals (including the North Korean government!) to launder stolen money.

Of course Storm argues that Tornado Cash is decentralized, but you can't just start a mafia branch, hand out free shares at the mall, and then claim that you actually didn't commit any crimes because you have 10,000 other voting shareholders.

Publishing a contract is basically just posting code. You are saying the primary distinction is the governance token and thus financial benefits accruing to the dev?
