> you have already done a number of illegal things
Fun thing I learned recently in a Netflix documentary: It used to be legal to be a mafia boss because you weren’t the one doing illegal things. Someone had to fight real hard in the 70’s to create a new law that made it illegal to tell others to commit crimes.
It was legal to own C4 that doesn’t smell until 1996. A new law after a series of bombings made it illegal.

I wonder what’s legal now that will be obviously illegal in 20 years because it leads to future crimes?
