I'm sorry, but what sort of bullshit is that ?
The law does not differentiate between "hobby project" or not.
It would be the ultimate get-out clause for criminals ... "yes, officer, I'm distributing cocaine, but don't worry, its only a hobby project".
- mynameisvlad 4y ago> What, exactly, is wrong with the current policy? Have you even read it? Don’t dodge questions which destroy your arguments and argue against a ridiculous strawman. What, exactly, in explicit detail, is illegal about what the author has done? And its obvious, leeway is allowed because it’s a personal project. Nobody is about to prosecute someone over a random hobbyist project that is used by a few dozen people. The amount of resources used will never come close to the payout that would come out of that.
- fragmede 4y agoSo it turns out the US actually does make that differentiation. A non-violent individual hobbyist who occasionally deals cocaine on the side and isn't part of a gang isn't charged the same as Tony "Scarface" Montana. Career criminals like the fictional Tony Montana get "I'm a professional" charges while hobbyists do not. Professionals get charged under the RICO Act, which stands for "Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Corrupt_Organizations_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Corru...
