Monero has an entirely different protocol (cryptonote) and genesis block, so it's not a copy or fork of Bitcoin.
If Bitcoin relies on transactions being "legal" it has already failed. But even ignoring that Monero transactions are also perfectly legal.
You can also prove you paid someone on Monero as well by showing your TX key and TXID for any specific transaction.
