It's not a company's responsibility to pay more than it owes. It's the people's responsibility to elect a government that will write rules without such gross and long standing loopholes. Or at least to elect a government that will close them after a decade or two of abuse instead of keeping them permanently.

According to that logic, if I found a software exploit that allows me to order anything for free on Amazon, I should be allowed to keep all the stuff without any consequences, because it's the resistibility of Amazon to prevent such loopholes from being used?

Imagine how nasty Amazon would be and how much money they would lose if they just blamed their users for bugs of that magnitude. That's how Europe's tax authorities are running their business.

And the USA isn't all that much better.
