Ouch. Unless I'm missing something, that appears to advocate arbitrary and
capricious use of authority.

If all these alleged rich scoundrels are already skirting the law, there is
no need to change them, right? Do you really think it is wise to promote
and encourage changes to the laws that suddenly makes a victimless activity
a criminal activity? What if it were an activity you engaged in and someone
else was trying to make it illegal?

Excuse me? I specifically wrote that the better way was to enforce the
law as it is already written. And to pick out companies or individuals
for enforcement action who are advertising a violation of the law is
hardly arbitrary or capricious.
