See also AndThatsTerrible and IsNothingSacred In sports, this is the sadistic version of LoopholeAbuse. If a law ''is'' passed to deal with the situation, it's likely an ObviousRulePatch. Conversely, if a law specifically allows people to do immoral things, that's LegalizedEvil.

See also AndThatsTerrible and IsNothingSacred In sports, this is the sadistic version of LoopholeAbuse. Compare NotIllegalJustification for when a wrongdoer justifies their actions with the fact that what they are doing isn't illegal.

* ''Fanfic/TrollingTheToad'': A variant; in Chapter 3, Harry raises the point that using the Blood Quill on children likely constitutes torture, which makes them against the law in some capacity.

* ''WebVideo/SMPEarth'' originally had very few rules, aside from "don't cheat". Laws did end up being drafted after [[spoiler:WebVideo/{{Technoblade}} and Philza used some obscure functions of the Factions plugin to claim ''[[TakingOverTheWorld the entire world]]!''[[note]]Basically, if you were a member of a faction, you were able to claim land for that faction, with the more faction power you had, the more land you could claim. However, if a piece of unclaimed land was surrounded by land claims, that unclaimed land would be treated as claimed, without taking away faction power. So, once they had enough faction power, Techno and Phil claimed land in a gigantic square surrounding the entire map, meaning the entire map would be treated as claimed land.[[/note]] Admins Wilbur and Josh immediately noticed and [[CourtroomEpisode called everyone down for a trial]], but ended up not punishing Techno and Phil as what they did was perfectly within the rules. However, they did force them to unclaim everything and immediately wrote some new rules to stop people taking over the world again.]]
