Microsoft was someone infamous in the past for taking other peoples' technology and using it without paying for it, and later settling in court for small money.

Amazon very certainly has bad behaviors with respect to allowing counterfeit items and possibly treating labor unfairly. Google seems to have its share of bad behaviors as well. Don't forget banking and finance, politicians, and other groups. But let's face it: the Mother Teresa's of the world don't gain the financial riches or obvious power that narcissistic and sociopathic leaders do. And at least in finance, not so unrealistically portrayed in The Wolf of Wall Street, some takers will privately mock their marks and fools. Incidentally, that movie missed telling the story of the real wolves. I'm still waiting for the Goldman Sachs/Fed/Government story. Point is, this behavior is OK for some.
