Would you be good enough to post a link supporting your assertion that: "it
is a basic and well established legal principle that you lose your right of
way if you are in violation of the laws or regulations"?

I haven't read all of the FAR's yet so I suppose that could be true in the
aviation world, but I can tell you that your supposition is totally false in
the larger world of US law.

I won a case in 1996 filed by an unlicensed building contractor who
was demanding payment. The judge found that the California law denied
unlicensed contractors legal remedy. I could research the statute,
and so can you: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html
