I don't see this as taking personal responsibility. This is using the law for personal gain. This is failing to take an approach to conflict resolution that is less harmful. This is choosing to take the approach that has the potential for the most monetary gain for themselves. Not the most good for all.So, ignorance of the law is an excuse? Of course it is an individual's responsibility to know the basics of our legal system. And when they choose to engage in something that might be illegal, to take responsibility for their actions if at a later date they decide they were doing something illegal.The duty of a public large corporation's legal department to stay on top of these things is in regards to risk and liability, not adherence to the law. It is to the financial responsibilities to share holders. Not that I agree with that on a moral/ethics basis. But that's what more than one corporate lawyer has made clear to me.I'm going to let this thread go for awhile before replying again. Give others a chance to reply, and perhaps address this in a different manner.</blockquote>
