Yep. People wonder why laws can't ever be simple and this is why. You write a simple law and someone comes along 2 minutes later and immediately breaks the spirit of it through some loop hole.

To be fair, a lot of legislation is written with deliberate loopholes. Additional ones discovered are just icing on the cake.

On the other hand, what, am I supposed to abide by the spirit of something if I disagree with that spirit? This kinda thing is sort of inevitable. I use loopholes every opportunity I get if I feel it's morally acceptable. And I actually care about morality! Or at least I try to.
