Neither of these "crimes" are legitimate in a theoretically-free society.
And false information is the main product of "public officials".
I agree with the idea that doing business without a license is a bogus charge and you are absolutely correct that false information is what public officials do, but isn't the guy guilty of fraud (or something similar)? I'll bet there are rich pervs who would pay $10 grand to shoot paintballs at naked chicks. As near as I can tell there would be nothing illegal about it, what would have happened if someone would have contacted this guy wanted a "hunting license"? He should have just put a disclaimer on his films and left it at that.
If the fine for public officials providing false information to the public was $1,000 per occurrence federal, state and local governments would all be in the black.
