    Call me naive, but doing something illegal is never OK in the eyes of the law, whether I deem it necessary or not. I would have to receive a legal exception to the rule, as it were. As it stands, it’s illegal.

      yeah, doing something illegal is illegal, hard to argue with that tautology.

      but you seem to be living under the impression that immoral = illegal, which is not the case.

      I think what they were saying is that the law specifically makes exceptions for things that are necessary. Others are saying ads are not necessary per the law’s definition, but that’s a separate issue.

      Saving Jews during the holocaust in Germany was illegal. How naive are you?
