It's either legal or it isn't. If it's legal then there is nothing to worry about and those calling for people to put a sock in it are just making it look suspicious. If it isn't legal then pointing out that some others may also be doing something else that contravenes the rules will not make it any more legal. Two wrongs do not make a right. The more people shout against this the more guilty they look. Let the light of day in, let the regulators look at it - if it's all above board there is nothing to fear.
