I think the problem is that people often get away with doing ethically dubious things in early-stage startups. It only makes news when they got caught. For example: Airbnb started out by scraping Craiglist for their listings. This was not only ethically dubious, it was against Craigslist's terms of service. They got away with it, though, and have obviously gone legitimate since. Same with YouTube and copyrighted content.
