**Generally**, and for the sake of expediency, however:

 CC 2 - Interpretation

  In this Act,

     "everyone", "person", "owner", and similar expressions include Her Majesty
      and public bodies, bodies corporate, societies, companies and inhabitants
      of countries, parishes, municipalities or other districts in relation to the
      acts and things that they are capable of doing and owning respectively.

Golllly gee, given the nature of the 'net, and the extent of government
involvement, it looks like anything that is done, just might be a case of
selective prosecution...
