Isn’t a legal product a better one than an illegal counterpart?
- amelius 5y agoNope. It's because the illegal product has lower cost (because complying to regulations costs money one way or the other).

- IanCal 5y agoIt may not be cheaper when you have to deal with the repercussions of breaking the law though.
- amelius 5y agoThose are usually just slaps on the wrist.
- whimsicalism 5y agoSure, if the products and companies are identical in every other fashion, which is never true in real life.
- amelius 5y agoAre you suggesting that legal products/services always win over illegal products in a capitalist market? Think again: Uber, AirBnb, etc.
- whimsicalism 5y agoNo, you are the one claiming that illegal products are always cheaper. I am saying it is murky.
- amelius 5y agoThe question was about otherwise identical products.
- kerng 5y agoOnly if the user (in Google's case the product) would be the one liable.
