For instance, under US law (which I understand is generally considered to be based on common, rather than civil, law), we have 17 USC 506 and 18 USC 2319. I think that would shift it from "unlawful" to "illegal" in your terminology. But I am not a lawyer. | |

Most (if not all) of them are actually not a law, because they are overruled but other more important laws (lets say a state law, which is less important than federal law or even a constituional amendment). So people (legislation) is basically just too lazy to remove these laws from their books - But this doesn't mean it is still an active law. However, your points still holds as there are in fact many laws which we break at a regular basis. | |
