How is this bundling even legal.

It's not being prosecuted, so its legal. Everyone's been properly paid off. If push comes to shove, Clarence Thomas will get a new RV and any lawsuits will be dismissed, but for now only the EU seems interested in internet regulation.

How most regulations work, actually. From food to consumer electronics. And yes, that includes your bad dragon.
