You're reasoning for violating the law is that the probability if getting caught is low?

Tax evasion and speeding are not in the same category of crime, not even close. One is generally an infraction (not even a misdemeanor) and the other is a felony.


Evading a few bucks from running numbers on your graphics card is not laundering money to fund trafficking or depriving schools of books.
