If you willfully ignore regulations you don’t like, ones that were established through democratic processes, and advocate for others doing the same … that’s undemocratic lawlessness.

If instead you are saying that it’s good to find loopholes in laws that violate the spirit of the law, but not the letter of the law … well, you just explained why smart contracts are stupid and will never work.

Edit: by your definition, this “hack” was just innovation designed around the “law” of the smart contracts ;)
