For a law to have a loophole it must already be misaligned to its user's interests.
- allturtles 5y agoWho are the 'users' of a law? A government might pass a law to reduce air pollution from factories. Obviously this is 'misaligned' with the interests of factory owners, who will seek out loopholes to exploit. However it may be very well aligned with the interests of citizens at large.
- adolph 5y agoLet us consider the users of a law are those entities which are primarily affected by it. A loophole is a legal method that can only be used by some users that gives them some advantage over other users.
