That's the problem, you are trying to "look at it from the most legal standpoint I could think of" which is trying to convince yourself it is legal, when it is no such thing.

It doesn't really matter to me if you think it is legal since it probably wouldn't effect your actions, but telling others that it is legal is deceiving them just like telling yourself it's legal is deception (of yourself).
