That is the problem. Trying to determine who is "lying" and who isn't does not solve the issue. If the tracks want to take a stand, fine. Then they can fund a solution that coincides with that stand. This is not a question of legalities, it is a question of morality. And regardless of whether a track is privately held or not, legislating morality is a slippery slope. Singling out the last link on the responsibility chain is easy for the tracks and its supporters. Yet the root of the problem is still being ignored.
