The Air Bud principle[1], also known as the Air Bud rule[2], Air Bud defense[3], or Air Bud logic[4], is an argument that, because something is not explicitly illegal, it is thus legal.
The name of the principle comes from the 1997 film Air Bud, where Buddy is allowed to play basketball because "ain't no rule says a dog can't play basketball." The principle is often used as a way of calling out attempted loopholes and faulty logic.[citation needed]
