This makes business ethics a lot more complex.

Complex, yes, but not nearly as complex as junior founders tend to think they are.

Like as not their definition of a "complex" business ethical comes down to, more or less:

"Say WHA? They're actually reading the contract I downloaded from somewhere (or which some random mentor gave to me) -- and they actually think it means what it says? And they want to negotiate some aspect of it? OMG they're lawyering up on me! Worse, they seem to know more than I do! I'm scared!"

If you are signing big contracts without legal advice, certainly, that's a big problem. I've lost money that way.

I don't think I'd call it an ethical problem, though. It is more of a "I did something stupid because I thought I had capabilities that I do not, in fact, have."
