While true, it also wasn't really what my post was responding to. Thanks though.
The thread is discussing why it's considered abuse if you can't point to a victim. The answer turned out to be "because the law says so."
If you read the law you posted, it doesn't actually address the question of victimhood. Also, I don't really get why you're still trying to force an unrelated point into this part of the discussion. Maybe find another place in the thread where someone thinks it's legal and go talk to them.
If you don't think you sound like you're saying it's legal/should be legal I have very bad news for you.
Seeing that it's been explicitly stated that that's not the case, you strike me as a dude that cares less about the meaning of words than the opportunity to argue about them.
