UK does not fall within US juridiction
I don't see why copyright law enforcement should've ever entered the criminal code, it should have just remained a part of the civil law code like patent law.
LEOs regularly exaggerate, embellish & lie to magistrates 'n judges, both in court & in chambers to get convictions, warrants & court orders galore.
Lambo was a tractor manufacturer. Then one day Mr Lambo bought a Ferrari & wasn't impressed & took it back, Mr Ferrari refused to improve the Ferrari as Mr Lambo requested, so Mr Lambo stormed off in a huff yelling 'bugger you, I can do a better job building supercars myself'
It seems you're saying that if the country you reside in legislated away your freedom & the law said everyone of your ethnicity must reside in death camp, the rational thing to do would be to comply, because otherwise one would be breaking the law, making one a convict, because a convict is a convict.
Many drugs are legal you know.
For example Alcohol & tobacco, & even Oxy-Contin & MS-Contin arn't hard to get legal prescriptions for if one knows what one is doing. BTW in many countries Diacetylmorphine (the pharmaceutical name for heroin) is a legal prescription drug, including in both the UK & Canada.
Actually I have a friend of mine that's been a editor of a successful magazine for over a decade, all while being on prescription heroin program with the UK's NHS.
Incidentally one can legally consume GHB by simply putting a couple of drops of acetone-free nail polish remover in one's mouth & washing it down with a glass of water. Acetone free nail polish remover + water = GHB. As long as one doesn't mix the Acetone-free nail polish remover with the water before consuming them, one isn't even breaking federal laws in regards the manufacture, possession & use of a controlled substance.
Then there's the utility meter reader or (in Yank parlance) the cable guy.
Actually one thing I did notice at high school was that it seemed virtually all the tall kids were gluttonous milk drinkers.
problem are the dickheads thinking one has said "could of" & daring to issue a corrections, leading one having to explain that one's using an abbreviated form of "could have" spelt "c-o-u-l-d-'-v-e".
It really didn't take relatively long at all for the Soviets to put the mujahuden on it's last legs & losing the will to fight. Giving Bush Senior no choice but to give up the orthodoxy of plausible deniability & have his CIA send in the Stingers, changing the situation on the ground overnight. The Soviet way of fighting in Afghanistan bore little resemblance to the NATO led alliance way of fighting in Afghanistan.
I suggest you do some research on the state of the Afghan Mujahudeen fighting the Soviets during the last months before the Stingers entered the equation.
Please remain calm, it's no use both of us being hysterical at the same time.
