This was hashed over extensively within the last year on these groups. The
answer involves radiation, the impossibility of creating a resistanceless
and inductanceless connection, and the breakdown of simple circuit
equations in geometric configurations that try to approximate such a
connection. That is - how are you at applying Maxwell's equations?

The law is not violated. I have faith, oh Brother Ohm! :-)
