No, that applies only to actions by the government. Other bans on
cruel and unusual acts would come under criminal law, common law, or
possibly tort law. (This is a US-centric comment, of course, but
US centrism is implied by your statement.)
But some of us are actually interested in settlement costs in digital
commerce transactions. Thirty hours might be a bit much, but I
wouldn't mind reading more on it. ;-)
