Michael,
I'm not sure myself, why the question of legality was brought up in that thread, but it was and my advice to you would be to carefully read every message in the referenced thread + the thread which deals with legality (it was referenced there).
Then you can make the decision by yourself.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
