Somehow it doesn't seem quite like "civil disobedience" when it's a multinational company breaking the law. As an example, if a more established company just started breaking laws that were inconvenient to their margins (especially safety sensitive ones) I really doubt it would be so easy to support.
- rblatz 11y agoMost companies do exactly that, everyday. If the penalty is less than the cost to follow the law most companies will not follow it.

Company A has 10 million in the bank, fine is 5 million, company B has 100 billion in the bank, the fine is 75 billion.
