It was not hostile; but, both questions still seem either disingenuous, or naive (noting that your original question as stated was "how do they get away with it", not "how come some corporations break the law"). As I think Patio11 recently said on another topic - unless you can name a person or role, we should challenge our internal assumptions that "somebody somewhere is keeping track | investigating | doing something about it". There is SO much going on in the world. And unfortunately, a lot of people / companies try to get away with a lot of stuff all the time. So an unbelievable amount slips through. Some of it gets noticed eventually. I'm increasingly saddened by my awareness of how much (vast majority) does not. Maybe I'm too cynical without knowing it, but based on cursory reading of virtually any news, companies (and/or their leadership, depending on one's framework) do frequently engage in questionable or clearly illegal behaviour, based on their values, needs, priorities, and assessment of risk vs reward.
