HOWEVER, you may well wish to revise your thoughts on "that which is not specifically illegal is legal". If that were true, we wouldn't have judges to make those determinations, or case law to reference back to similar scenarios and outcomes. The law is not black on white.

I stand by that which is not specifically illegal is legal. Laws are written to specify what you cannot do... not what you can do.
Maybe I overstepped with this being a thread a-boot Canada, but in the US courts uphold the law, not make them. The action that brings someone to court is already deemed illegal... the court process determines if someone is guilty.
