You face ruin & prison only if the law is set up that way (which it is, currently, in most jurisdictions.) If people are not willing to challenge such laws, even in the safety of an Internet board, then those who threaten you with ruin & prison have won. Are you advocating giving up that easily?

To save YOU yes, to save your gramma's wedding band, or Uncle Bob's medals? Not a frigging chance.
