>but of course we live in a society that every single one of us breaks some small law every day.

I never really understood this line. I can say with pretty much 100% certainty that I have broken no laws, no matter how small, at any time within the past week. Traffic, what have you.

It wasn't difficult either. You sacrifice a tiny bit of convenience, but honestly? It's worth it to have a clean conscience.

I can say with pretty much 100% certainty that you're wrong (at least if you're in the US).

I'm not saying that you're lying, let alone that you're intentionally doing wrong. It's just that the web of law reaches everywhere and it's almost impossible to not trip over it.

IMHO most of these laws shouldn't exist but that's just me.

The contrarian view would be that most people don't care if they trip over it.

That operating system you are using violates 27 of my company's patents, but I'm not telling you which ones.

Reading that book outloud to your children violates the T&C

You do calculate and pay local sales tax on anything you order from out of state?

Company's problem, not mine.

Just because you put it in a contract doesn't make it legally enforceable.

>You do calculate and pay local sales tax on anything you order from out of state?

As a matter of fact...
