The law is a transient thing. Simply asking the courts whether something is illegal can change its legality.

So the law is just like Shroedinger's cat?

Probably no more so than selling 'incense'

:) Fortunately, there are no powerful lobbyists that have a problem with incense.

I hope the MPAA sues Harvard, it'd make for a great fight. We could use a precedent setting case.
