I think you're right. Even moving your mail or web server to another country won't help deter the actual collection with prism.
However, I think responses like this create tension between the companies agreeing to give their information, and the government. If google, yahoo, and facebook start to lose money they might potentially fight legislation like this going forward and may advocate in reverting these policies.

There is nothing wrong with the argument, it is sound logic, and reasonable. In fact, I agree with it. No, this comment made me recoil because for a second, it made me envision a reality where our political influence, as people, can only be exercised through corporations. And, (maybe, I confess, because I am so deep into the lecture of cloud atlas) I can't help but sense that it is a dangerous road to be embarked on. But these are just my two cents...
