Stories like these are why I am led to believe that more and more regulations actually hurt the little guy. Big corporations do not fear more regulations. They can afford the lobbyists to influence politicians to write loopholes, the consultants to jump through the right hoops, and the lawyers to get them off the hook. What can little startups do? Hope that they can raise millions in series A, I suppose.
Big corps don't fear regulations, they fear competition. Big corps (I have read elsewhere) /want/ more regulations, because it raises the barrier of entry for the little guys to compete with them. They can afford a tightly-regulated world but little guys cannot.
Google this: Corporations love regulations. Lots of examples.
