complying with regulations costs money. obviously if you are exploiting people in a way that becomes illegal, you have to stop doing that profitable thing. this is probably not bad. however, even if your business is already compliant with the new regulations, you still still have to pay someone to understand the new rules and confirm that you are not breaking them. as regulations grow in number and complexity, you have to spend more money just to know whether you are complying with them. removing regulations may not reduce fees, but adding new ones will almost certainly increase them, since they necessarily increase the overhead for the business.
