There are two ways to subvert the laws. One way is to take a rule that arbitrary parties would agree to in advance (e.g. "If a car belongs to A, B can't just drive off in it without being penalized").

You don't stay in business very long if you violate A, and you can only do B when the government is rich enough to rob.
