We're a long way from "super duper illegal" now aren't we? Intent is everything. If you're not attempting fraud nobody will care.

Then do the thing? Is super duper illegal different from regular illegal? Why are we bashing heads over the use of 'super duper' in NotTheOnion in the first place?

You ever see one of those souvenir penny stamp machines? It's simply not illegal depending on your intent. People often think "intent" is just some weird "technicality" but it's part of the law.
