The failure of the legitimate market causally explains the emergence of a black market.
It doesn’t morally vindicate people who sell exploits on the black market.
This is, I don’t know, kindergarten-level ethics? I’m flabbergasted at the self-serving rationalizations here.
- annoyingnoob 7y agoTo be clear, I am not personally advocating the use of the black market to sell exploits. I'm saying that the black market may be more attractive in cases like this and that anger at the black market in this case is misguided. The failure is with PayPal and/or HackerOne in this case. When the black market is more efficient that is a failure of the legitimate marketplace and you should place your anger with the legitimate marketplace that failed.
