The Truth is often stumbled upon by men, most of whom pick themselves up and hurry along as if nothing ever happened.

It is a good mark which produces a lot of ray at the right times. How do I go about finding out if there is anything I can(legally) do about it?
Thanks
They are netting for schoolies there so yes it is illegal.
