Right, but I'm not advocating for actions within the current system. I'm advocating for a change to the current system by drawing a contrast between legality and reality.
We have a collective tendency to forget that we're the authors of legality and tend to reverse our causal arrows. Reality should be reflected in the law, not be shaped by the law.
Law and money are both old world concepts. I care about code and attention. I also believe in respecting other people. Law was invented to formalize deeper concepts like respect. Just because the law is broken, doesn't mean it's ok to start disrespecting others boundaries and intentions. All progress is played out above the legal waterline. Code doesn't exist until it's written. That's the way it's always been. We also have a voice in that process.
