If you need to skirt around laws to do something, do you really think it's a good idea to place it in public view? If "something" happens, then lawyers will have to sort it all out. Do you have money for the lawyers? Do you want to drag the same entity you're trying to help into a legal battle? If (and it is possible) "something" happens, you'd cause more harm than good. |

However, I'm not willing to risk fines or jail time to make a point. Both of which affect more than just me - my family would suffer too. The world is ruled by corporates and their lawyers. And I'm the first to admit I'm too much of a coward to try and tackle either head on. :( |

Yeah, I understand what you guys are saying. I just think there is breaking the law: robbing a convenient store and breaking the law: Jaywalking. And I think this falls closer to the jaywalking category. I really think the very worse case scenario is that you are asked to remove the machine or told not to do it again. But realistically nobody is going to care. No one is going to put you in jail for a small to moderately sized fundraiser for a children's hospital. People just don't go to prison for that. I'm no rebel or vigilante, I just cross the street every once in a while when there is a red light and no cars are coming. |

depends how much you like taking risks. on one hand it's obviously illegal. on the other hand though it'll be unlikely you ever get into trouble. you could just say you wasnt aware that it was dodgy. just my opinion |
