Exactly. This is more of a thought experiment to me rather than a discussion on the implementation details. Say they could pay for it... would it be net positive or negative?

if someone has to suffer for others then you are literally promoting the idea of throwing out the driver of a train after tying one person to one side and two people to the other side of a fork and then demanding someone decide who is more valuable if you profit from crime you are an accomplice, and there is no more to it than that criminals use ignorant and innocent bystanders all the time as shields to hide and deflect from their wrongdoing aside from the clean hands doctrine (you cannot claim innocence to prosecute if you also have profited) there is also the problem of character - another old principle of law, sacrifice is the measure of credibility if you take away people's incentives to strive for better by handing them freebies you will wind up with a crowd of fat, lazy people with their hands out and the only way to enable sloth is to steal from those who work
You are still missing the point and trying to argue about implementation details. It's ok, I'm going back to the code editor now.
not interested in following the doings of people who have no spine or moral fibre either anyway
