That's not *necessarily* a bad thing.

Well, you can hope in the possible truth of the quip ``Anything that 100
respected businessmes do is legal.''

IE, if it proves to be common practice it may become de facto and then 
de jure legal.  In the sense that not prosecuting a London cabbie for
failing to carry the statutory bale of hay for his horses is du facto
and probably de jure legal.
