This should seriously be in the FAQ somewhere - We've seen a lot of it lately, and it's kind of surprising the ideas that some otherwise very bright people have when it comes to the law.

Absolutely, it's ridiculous to pose legal questions here. If I were running the place I'd probably remove them. It's actually dangerous to both the poster (whose business could be ruined by misinformation) and those who respond.
