That's considered "a wire" by the law now :)



Curses! Foiled again!

Does it help that I've now removed the fiber?


Odds are the legal system will converge on a non-technical, highly abstract meaning of "wire" to the effect of "any medium for conveyance of a signal over long distances (where long distances can reasonably be concluded to encompass multiple jurisdictions).

This is why Legalese and English are truly seperate beasts linguistically.


Alas, it looks like I'll have to use my Maxwellian knowledge for good rather than evil after all.
