Consider instead the term "legal fiction", it's not so derogatory.
- xpe 3y agoLegal fiction is a technical term used by legal scholars. To be clear, any legal system is built from legal constructs; I'm not talking about these. A legal fiction has a markedly different meaning than lie as used in the comment two levels above (which seems to me more like a rant than a clear or convincing argument) Are you familiar with specific expert writings about claimed legal fictions in U.S. copyright law?
