Oh please, the people in power in the system ("the law") don't care because it'll never affect them.

Law can declare that the Earth is flat. Does not mean I have to believe in it.

And they'll confiscate the earth because it transgressed the law by being round.

Interesting; is there a law that dictates that the Earth is an oblate spheroid? A bit like the Indiana Pi Bill?

The fact that the practice exists would seem to argue against that.
