The verdict upheld was that it was unlawful, which I agree with. Nothing was mentioned about it being illegal.
Shameful copy and paste moment:
Black's Law Dictionary defines unlawful as "not authorized by law, illegal." Illegal is defined as "forbidden by law, unlawful." Semantically, there is a slight difference. It seems that something illegal is expressly proscribed by statute, and something unlawful is just not expressly authorized.
