It really isn't about whether or not we might or might not get in 
trouble, its whether or not the plain language of the laws and

I agree. There might be some issues in some countries about what is 
acceptable behavious OUTSIDE of the meeting room, but we should
certainly be able to conduct business as usual in our meetings
themselves.

(Ignoring for the time being any discussion of "plain language" and
various readings of such).
