Really? Let them try!

It reminds of the "cat-and-mouse" game played by the software companies and the "pirates" in the 80's, over copyright protection schemes..

My position is a combination of an Anarchist view that Irrational Laws should be ignored whenever possible, and "The Law of Large Numbers" that protects us from "The Law" singling us out.

BTW, I wouldn't call it "Hypocrisy" - sounds too "self-righteous," almost "evangelical!" ROFLMAO
