The letter of the law, and the spirit of the law.

In fact, it seems really rather clear on the issue that you can't, it actually specifically outlaws it. Lori

However, this is probably the absolute worst place to try and challenge the masses. I appreciate your tenacity, but acceptance is a virtue also. Dogmeat [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] It's clear that Martha Stewart broke a law, and just because the government pretty much "looked the other way" and gave her some BS slap on the wrist doesn't mean we shouldn't continue to fuss about it. If it were any of us in that situation, we'd be doing 25 years in a "pound you in the ass" prison.

Plus a crusader who for some reason is determined to make sure that term is enforced even though it is none of her business.

Re: The letter of the law, and the spirit of the law.
Law vs. term of a contract is not a semantics argument, it is a factual argument. The only party that can enforce that term is Empire (and possibly PartyPoker depending on the contract between them).
