You're a customer, then, and as a customer I completely agree with you. But as an investor in the same company, I would fault them for not taking a simple step

You're a customer, then, and as a customer I completely agree with you.
But as an investor in the same company, I would fault them for not taking a simple step to protect their profits. Just because you include the clause doesn't mean that you're going to do evil and exercise it. Again, I can't fault you for taking the get-out-of-jail-free card that's offered. But I fault you mightily for doing something that would require flashing that card.
The fact that the card exists at all seems like the root problem to be fixed.
- s73ver_ 9y agoAgain, I'm not buying it. Investors are also people, who are also capable of knowing right from wrong. I absolutely will fault them for taking evil steps to make profit at the expense of others. And I disagree. Including the clause indicates your willingness to be evil in exercising it. The fact that the card exists is absolutely a problem that exists and needs to be fixed. But you had the option to take it or not, and you chose to take it. That in itself is an evil step.
- ifhd 9y agoThis idea that you can shield companies from any and all morality by crying about investors needs to die. It's absurd.
