I think it's good, at a basic level, to refuse to do things that shock your morality, even just a little bit. I was once told our company was going to be pitching to do work for one of those companies that sneak charges onto your credit card and then claim that you asked for it. I said, "You'll be doing that project without me." It's a risk, that you might be considered to be not a team player, but I think it makes you feel better in the long run.

Of course everybody has to make their own decisions about just where the line is (some people would say I had already crossed over just by working for Microsoft) but in the end you have to live with yourself so don't do things that compromise your integrity, however you see it.
