CDZ Legalize corporate espionage

[Onyx]

You call it unethical, but I call it enhancing competition. Some activities are protected, while others are fair game? Enough with these double standards!

I say everything goes and we'll see which of the multi-billion dollar corporations are left standing.

They'll just go after customers.

How? Stealing customer data?

Pfft. . . they do that anyway.

And just because they claim corporate espionage is a no no, doesn't mean it is.


The US actively assists in corporate espionage all the time against other foreign rivals. But you know that, right?

As an anarchist, you should already know, something is only illegal if there is a law against it, and if someone other than a government official is doing it.

IF a person is working for the government, there are no laws.

How? Stealing customer data?

Yes and using it to stalk and harrass them.

They do that anyway. Corporations share your data with other companies, and in some cases even sell it.

Are you using my thread as a platform to advance a conspiracy theory? Tsk tsk!

I have no doubt the US steals corporate data just like Russia and China. I don't have a problem with it.

Ralph Nader proposed "the corporate death penalty" in which a corporation convicted of very serious crime would be dissolved and its assets taken by the government and sold. The idea was to make stockholders aware of their responsibility as owners, not mere profit-seeking investors. Radical, I grant you, but interesting...
