I'm not sure why so many people seem to think this is such a big deal. It happens everywhere around the world. Companies like Shell and bands like U2 do the same. It's called tax avoidance and it's not illegal and personally I wouldn't even call it immoral or unethical. Business has little to do with morals or ethics as far as I'm concerned. It's the task of the lawmakers to decide the borders of morality / ethics and make clear laws and business just has to abide by the laws. Personally I strive to pay as little tax as possible as well. I can't blame businesses for trying the same.
