Well, except in the industry, front-running has a precise regulatory definition.<p>It doesn&#x27;t help the conversation to start using the name of a crime to describe something that&#x27;s legal but you don&#x27;t like (even if you think it should be illegal, but agree it doesn&#x27;t fit the legal definition of the named crime).<p>I don&#x27;t like that back when rape and pillage on the high seas was a large threat, some copyright holders were able to convince people to start calling copyright infringement &quot;piracy&quot;.  I don&#x27;t like our current tendency to over-label things as terrorism or exaggerate the role of narcotics smuggling in financing Islamic terrorism.  I also don&#x27;t like labeling reacting quickly to public information and reacting to expected orders as front-running.  I think it&#x27;s a cheap trick that harms the quality of the dialogue.
