I’m guessing you don’t have a car. Is there somewhere nearby you could walk to or bicycle to, for someone to meet you and pick you up? Then you would only be on camera leaving the house, not breaking any house rules. This isn’t about law, this is about your relationship with your mother. You can do what you want, but different actions may have different results in your family dynamics.
I personally look up torrent files for either FLACs (lossless quality, with very large files) or 320kbps MP3s (smaller files with no noticable difference in sound quality imo) and then after making sure they have the right metadata (Title, Album, Artist) (using a tool like Tagger) I upload them onto my Navidrome server, which I connect to using Ultrasonic. If I didn’t selfhost I’d probably just put the tagged files on my phone and play them with basically any music player.
I think it should be legal and regulated. It’s a service that people want and others are willing to fill. We just need laws to protect all parties, particularly the workers.

Yeah, I never understood the ‘make me feel special’ argument, not fully. As gifts go it feels kinda like artsy stuff (pendants, necklaces, garments, etc) but at the same time it has even less (or another kind of) … I guess social value (how that person is now seen within a group) … ?
The room ornamental value seems mute compared to potted plants.
In case that is actually the point, that it somehow looks more aesthetically pleasing without all the other plant parts, … then hitting people a little is fine, as a treat.
Some plants the flowers are very pretty, but the whole plant isn’t practical to be kept indoors (e.g. roses), and they don’t necessarily flower all year round. If someone has a favourite flower or favourite colour of flower, it makes them feel special when someone thinks to buy them for them (they get a flower they love to look at for the next week, and they know that someone cares about them enough to buy them flowers, and keep the knowledge of which like).
