I take "seeing beyond legalities" to mean ignoring the law, not changing it of phasing it out. Ignoring the law is bad, even if you think you are doing it for a good reason.

Modifying the law or phasing out a law is fine and smart people companies should do that. I felt like the OP was saying that when you think a law is wrong you should ignore it.

Breaking a law in most cases is taking something away from someone or some entity, whether it is rights or property. It is bad to take something away by force. But it is bad to take it away by stealing or cheating too.

I originally meant that as doing more than the law mandated.
