From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

First off, I think you misread their financials. They made almost a billion after tax and ~$3.5 billion in gross profit.

To more directly address your question, even if they were losing money somehow:

>In suits alleging a corporation's director violated his duty of care to the company, courts will evaluate the case based on the business judgment rule. Under this standard, a court will not second guess the decisions of a director as long as they are made (1) in good faith, (2) with the care that a reasonably prudent person would use, and (3) with the reasonable belief that they are acting in the best interests of the corporation.

Microtransactions and generally not investing in customer service are both perfectly reasonable business decisions which have a particular logic (which you may or may not agree with--that doesn't matter) behind them.

Not anywhere, but fairly widespread, also a lot of systems of law weren't that good so sometimes there would be no laws to solve a problem, they could then use Roman law to fill in the gaps.

This site has a nice summary of use of Roman law http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Roman_law.aspx

Coutume de Paris might also be interesting because it was used nation wide. And has the Feudal and Royal laws in it. It was the French law system before napoleon reformed it.

As in, you want to "sell" your family pack discounts to non-family members?

The answers differ by the service.

Spotify says their plan is only offered to people who live at the same address: (https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/family-plan/)

>All account holders must reside at the same address to be eligible for the Premium for Family Plan.

Not sure how they'll enforce it, but I'm sure they can check IP address ranges and such.

Is bankruptcy the same as "going under"? I have heard of bankruptcy in the context of a company that that owes too much money but wants to try to keep going (https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/10/04/555646290/episode-648-the-benefits-of-bankruptcy). They then make an agreement to pay a reasonable amount that is less than the full owed amount. This is done because if they immediately carved up the debtor's assets then they would get less than if the creditors were a little more patient and let the company continue going. I would have thought that there would be some legal-ey term for a company that fails to get into the bankruptcy process?

Cracking the LSAT (2015 ed.) is good and has 6 real practice tests.

However, you're sort of going about it the wrong way. The practice tests are really valuable learning experiences and you shouldn't waste them when you haven't yet developed good LSAT-taking habits. You need those practice tests once you've taken a course and learned the techniques. If you just want to read through the material and then maybe take one practice test (be strict and time yourself accurately!) just to get a sense of where you're starting from, then that's OK. Maybe you'll score 99th percentile first time and can feel confident you don't need a course. But for the vast majority of people, a structured course will improve your score. It's expensive, but it works.
