It used to be every American on average committed three felonies a day since breaking webservice TOS was a violation of the CFAA (a maximum of 25 years, so like murder in some states).

But a nice judge recognized in the late 2010s that no one reads those things and there are a lot of odious clauses in tech TOS. So they aren't criminally binding anymore.

That isn't to say we don't routinely commit felonies. We do, and they are generally not prosecuted until the state wants to make someone disappear (say a land developer wants your homstead and your hot spouse) or if someone has already companies angry and needs to pad out their rap sheet.

Everything? That's pretty impressive. I wonder how many illegal things you could realistically pack into your day... There are many inefficient legal things involved in my day, it would be tricky to make them all illegal. If I steal a lot of stuff in advance maybe then using it becomes sort of illegal? Tricky.

I think it heavily depends on where you live. In a country like china you just need to have the wrong belief and your existence itself becomes illegal

Why is the collectivization of private property illegal? The law sure hates all the fun things :(

Just suck up to tyrant or despot, then they’ll let you get away with anything (within the borders of their state)
