Being a criminal is illegal in many places.

Is it? Committing criminal acts maybe, but it’s relatively rare for mere existence, absent any other fact, to be illegal.

Writers write, bakers bake, drivers drive, and murderers do 25-life deterrence, so you don't eg. use satellite internet in the Falkland's.

Technically correct. Best kind of correct. I stand corrected.

Is it criminal for Ukraine to transit Russian gas during the war? Yes, but is it illegal? No.
