Well go and create such legal counter measures. For now these guys are making money and I'm happy for them.

Are you making an actual argument here? If so, what is it? It seems your argument is that one shouldn't be criticized on ethical grounds for legal activity, or that if something is legal and can be done to make money it should be praised regardless of the negative impact it can have on people's lives.

It's probably clear that I don't respect either of these opinions, so I hope that you're arguing some finer point here that I'm missing.

Is your argument that following the law = ethical conduct?

If so, how to do you reconcile differences between laws and cultures? Shouldn't ethical conduct be universal?

Certainly you must concede that there are unethical behaviors that are lawful?
