Sadly, as I have outlined in my reply to the other question (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39926847) I am afraid of doxxing myself if I say more about this.

But, without me being a legal expert in any way, shape or form, my feeling is it is relatively similar to the "Fjordteam" case from Sandefjord a few years ago:

Different owners, different jobs, but operated by volunteers who looked for a nore efficient (and healthier :-) way to finance their activities instead of the traditional Norwegian "cake raffle" ("kakelotteri")

The case involving a large and well known religious organisation that “employed” an army of unpaid volunteers? Can’t see how that relates to the broad description you provided earlier.

It was a cooperative.

Used for fundraising.

Everything legal. As proven by taking it all the way up to the department.

> Everything legal

First of all, this unironically reminds me of Borat.

More importantly, you keep citing legality in this thread as if that should basically end the discussion. Quite frankly that strikes me as a position of convenience, because clearly HN is not a court of law and the scope is not restricted to whatever happens to be legal in any given jurisdiction.

Do you for instance support all legal acts in your country? Going out on a limb I suspect you find at least a few morally dubious or worse.

Just some examples off the top of my head : IVF for single women? State support for all mosques? Fosen windfarms and a broad co-signing of feel-good UN resolutions? Preferential hiring based on either gender or ethnicity? Slap on the wrist punishments for basically all offenses? Enshrined trans rights? Teachers being at the total (legal) mercy of abusive students?

I dunno man, almost like “it’s legal!” is not the QED you think it is.
