Welcome to capitalism.
No it isn't.
Then again, rarely is lawbreaking by corporations adequately prosecuted. Even more rare are actual guilty verdicts resulting in actual punishment. Of course, "Don't be evil" isn't a law, and I'm not claiming Google is breaking any.
So while I think I may be technically correct, reality certainly does seem to favor your statement. This seems like a fairly sad state of affairs.
Is it like this everywhere capitalism is practiced? I'd think a visiting extraterrestrial scholar might be able to weigh in.
I agree with this. But laws and ethics are two different things. Corporations often do things that are in line with the law but unethical. By "civil duty" I meant ethics.
