Nothing wrong with making a profit, but exploiting markets and doing the wrong
thing isn't the best way to do so.

You sound as if you are proud you are breaking the rules or the spirit of the
rules.  It is people such as yourself that make restrictions necessary.  If
everyone could be counted on to do the right thing there wouldn't be a
problem.

I assure you, if you continue to break rules and flaunt regulations then you
will be taken to task over it at some point.  Personally, I'd make a point of
never dealing with any company you are associated with and making sure people
I know will not deal with you.

Or is that lawyers with a williness to represent any business without delving
into the ethics involved?
