That&#x27;s not how it works. What your opinion is or even your lawyer&#x27;s opinion is just an opinion. Ultimately someone can bring a case in a court and it&#x27;s decided then. You can advance your legal theory as to why it is allowed, and it may be a sufficient defense, or it may not. There is no a priori certainty in these things... the closest you might get is precedent.<p>The jocular saying is that, in England, &quot;everything which is not forbidden is allowed&quot;, while, in Germany, the opposite applies, so &quot;everything which is not allowed is forbidden&quot;. This may be extended to France — &quot;everything is allowed even if it is forbidden&quot; — and Russia where &quot;everything is forbidden, even that which is expressly allowed&quot;. While in North Korea it is said that &quot;everything that is not forbidden is compulsory&quot;
