Most companies do exactly that, everyday. If the penalty is less than the cost to follow the law most companies will not follow it.

Which is why I'm in favour of penalties being set by a judge and being significantly burdensome enough most of the time, that they will think twice before trying. Company A has 10 million in the bank, fine is 5 million, company B has 100 billion in the bank, the fine is 75 billion.
