Any legal and political system which is built on lies is inherently sinful.
If your politics assume people can be changed significantly by pressure from regulation,etc., that is evil politics. Evil because it encourages people to sin, rather than inhibits sin, the fundamental requirement under the Covenant of Noah. I’ll cite an example.
You may be aware Canada’s government adds a fee rather like an extra tax to media which might conceivably be used to record pirated music and video. In other words, everyone who purchases such writable media are presumed likely doing something naughty, and all must pay this extra fee. For the moment, let’s not discuss how not a single cent gets to the artists, as it’s all consumed by the big corporations who claim copyright ownership/control over this varied entertainment. The point is the government assesses a fee for piracy which, for the most part, does not happen. It’s a punitive fine levied without bothering to see if the buyer is actually doing that. It punishes everyone, not the wrongdoer. That’s because the people doing wrong can well afford this little fee.
Germany decided to really pump up the volume on this policy. They were charging a similar fee on the likes of jump drives. This week, that fee went up by 200x. Yes, it’s surely because someone on the government staff is also on the staff of the German version of MAFIAA. So your 8GB memory stick, previously with an added fee of about €.08 now costs an extra €1.95.
Consumers are going to notice, and they are going to understand perfectly. In the minds of the average human, they are now paying for piracy a hefty flat rate. Therefore, it justifies every act of piracy, because you’ve already paid for it. The government encourages the very thing they say they want to stop. Either the government officials are lying, that this is merely an excuse to squeeze everyone for the sake of some private commercial entity (fascism), or the government is building on a false understanding of human nature. Probably both. God has revealed the truth, and no human government is exempt from His Laws.
This is evil, and God is not amused.
