Do we? Where does the law actually stand on things
like this? My
understanding is that it is still unclear. A test-case in court might
be useful, even if it does go against us. Once the current law is
clarified, we can campaign for a change in the law (or not, if it
isn't needed).
I wouldn't be so quick to resolve things in law before we need to,
while we can still slant the situation on the ground.
