IMHO ,as laws are made by governments [and governments are, in the main,
greedy corrupt and unethical] the enshrining of any ethics by an unethical
body is unconscionable. (Legal ethics may not be an oxymoron when applied to
the legal profession but when applied to government
That does lead me to an ethical dilemma. Say someone copies a famous turners
style and then sells the product (with his name on it) at a charity
fundraiser.

Pass the money to charity and jail the plagiarizer. Assuming the
plagiarsee agrees that is. Of course if they won't agree then they are
not ethical. So we should give the money to charity anyway and jail
everyone else for lack of ethics.... Including the original turner -- if
you get my drift.)

Of course by your reasoning the governments are corrupt and unethical so
jailing the other people would be a breach of ethical behaviour as well
-- which would land us in jail -- leaving no one to do anything...
(Since the jails are run by governments...)

And therein lies the problem -- if you see what I mean.

Just making this up on the fly of course so it may take a little work to
gain acceptance...

Perhaps you can think on it a bit and clean up the logic a tad...
