Sure. This is the classical question about a corporation maximizing profits vs its social responsibility. Furthermore, ethics/moral stand depend on the societal norms. In the scenario I gave, we are looking from the outside -- it may be perfectly "legit" within that society (and in fact, that's how many see it in my actual applied country). But reality remains: a giant with the resources, tenacity, and goal to copy and replace most every other successful company.

So my question remains: what should tech entrepreneurs do in this "imaginary" environment/scenario?
