So I feel bad for a small business owner who get's affected and just see them as collateral damage in the other issue
That seems like a pretty important point to omit, don't you think? Moreover, I addressed this point in my original comment. Sure, the business loses a few million dollars in damages, but what about all the previous employees that were displaced? Were they acceptable collateral damage? What about "large businesses" that won't engage in such behavior? Do you think they're acceptable collateral damage as well and/or that all "large businesses" would engage in such behavior?
>Keep in mind, I'm not espousing a legal doctrine here. I'm just saying that's what my gut reaction is.
Don't you think, we as a society should expect that whatever people are espousing something publicly, that they should have given thought/consideration that's above "gut reaction"?
