Right and wrong are often different from legal and illegal. I will pass no judgement (also because I still hold the believe that some communications technology is better than none) but using laws by the German government as a counter point is probably not the best idea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_orders#Nuremberg_Trial...

I disagree with you on the point that it shouldn't be the job of the vendor to determine right from wrong. Only you can determine that, and it is your responsibility. If you let other people determine it for you, you will have no defense come judgement.
