No pirating in cap's/but legal's allowed to kill trader's in cap's?

[ryoken]

OK i want to know what the rule is here exactly.
You are not allowed to pirate in a CAP. ok got that.
I have seen corsair's/hessien's/outcast's/hacker's/ all get in deep ****E for killing a trader in a cap(even when in perfect RP) ok got that.

So why is LSF.LPI/SA/RM/QCP/BPA/KNF and any other "legal" faction allowed to kill a trader? I do not get this. Is this allowed for some reason? Am i missing something? Has the rule been changed, or i miss read it?

PLS i need an answer here i am confused big time.
If this is allowed i will get rid of my smuggler since it make's no point what so ever, and stick to boring old trading, or get some "legal" caps myself, and go around killing smuggler's who do not give ME 4 million and drop all thier cargo, since that to me is alot easier, and faster then actually trading for cash.

Admin's pls jump in and explain the rule's to me since i am just confused all to hell.:unsure::unsure::unsure:
