Well no, that is why we have laws, and if you break the laws, you get punished. But some companies will always try to push the boundaries. They are just experimenting with how far they can go. Kind of similar to children at a certain age. Hopefully these companies will eventually grow up and see that it is way nicer and constructive to play fair and work together in this world. But for the time we need to have the laws and punishments to keep them in place.

Maybe imprisonment of the exec would do too. Unlikely to happen though.

You can say exactly the same for global investment banks. Only when the US and EU starting fining them billions of dollars after the Global Financial Crisis (when banking regulations finally got real teeth) did their behaviour change.

Since their only job is to make their shareholders as much money as possible the (potentical) cost of noncompliance must outweigh the cost of compliance.

It's silly to expect anything else.

Trying to make a profit is a really powerful force to improve the lives of many people as a side effect. So we allow it and now enjoy the benefits.

In my opinion it seems like companies need to be confined though and is (sometimes) inherently unable to exert sufficeient self control and will even go so far as to saw off the branch they are sitting on.
