Not for legal advice
This tag is border-line off-topic, as Bitcoin Stack Exchange is about crypto-currencies and not about legal advice. However, it is useful for questions about general legal trends that concern a broad range of the community, and where it might not be as important that the answers are actually water-tight. Examples for such questions include:
- What is the current legal status of Bitcoin around the world?
- Has any illegal data been saved in the Block Chain?
- Is Bitcoin a currency?
This tag should not be used to ask specific legal counsel concerning your personal situation. Don't ask here, if you need definitive legal advice, hire a lawyer instead. You might find the following two questions helpful concerning that.
