I have, often, come across comments on HN threads that corporations that are driven only by money are evil. For example, many threads with Google, Facebook, et al have expressed such sentiments.

If we agree that to be true, then WPE should also be considered evil, shouldn't it? Then, why so much defence for them and all vitriol for Matt?

And, if we accept that WPE are right to focus only on the legality of their action, then should we not apply the same logic to all corporations when they focus on maximizing their revenues and profits?

If we agree that to be true, then Matt should be considered in the same light, as his demands to pay his corporation are driven by money.
All corporations are driven by money. Some are just shittier than others. And right now, in this instance, WPEngine is the lesser of the two. By, like, a lot.
