Quote - and it is not the govenment or a Berne convention who makes the Law , we are the ones who restrict our selves we make the laws a eula just repeats what we decide
The Law is much more complicated than this and must fulfill some atributes to become a valid law.
1- A law must be promulgated by a legal autority following all the formal procedures.
Most of the laws fits in this, but there are "laws" that people think that is a law but are not laws because never were signed and published by any legal autority. Now it comes the second and important part that people almost don't know:
2- A Law must be accepted by the population. Most of the laws fail in this point and so are not a valid law. Population don't obbey these laws and if they do it is only due to police force. If a poliseman is looking at you, you follow the law, when the policeman turns his head looking at other direction, you ignore the law. It's like when athief puts a gun into your head you obbey him, but this doesn't make the bandit the Law.
3- The Law must be enforced. A law can exist, but nobody cares if is followed or not is not a valid law. There is agreat numbers of laws that fits into these cathegory. Nobody cares because it are impossible to be enforced, it are so ridiculous to be enforced, enforcing them will turn all into a chaos or are obsolette and nobody has removed them as for example, shops must have a post to tie the horse.
To end this here comes a phrase from Gandhi that I like very much:
"To disobey a law is a crime against the government. To obbey an unjust law is a crime against humanity."
Stupidity also evolves!
