> You are right. The relevant laws apply to money service operators and blockchain software developers, in most cases, are not money service operators. Software developers, in most societies, cannot be deputized to enforce particular uses or non-uses of their software.

For example, people who sell malware get arrested all the time. People who run naspster got sued off their ass.
