I'm wondering if it might be impossible to write a law that both prevents the sprit of what we want it to prevent, while also not preventing the spirit of what we don't want to prevent. :)

It probably is impossible, but you could cover a lot of cases with more deliberate design. For the rest, you can leave it up to the judges to decide.

Then again, that might be exactly how (some) lawmakers think, but I'm not aware of it.
