That's the risk I meant, the legal uncertainty is the risk. Or perhaps creating the risk. And again: the legal liabilities of a mega-corp is not my problem or concern. And I don't see why it should be.
That is the whole point. I guess when talking to a bunch of lawyers, morality has no value. I don't consider it a "problem", I consider it a sentiment that raises - at least - two important questions a) why is it not legal enforceable b) why is "evil" so hard to define?
After all, we live in societies that preach/teach/claim that evil is bad and being good is good. Yet, at the same time, we have such a problem defining what evil is. Evil cannot be legally defined. Weird really.
Now normally I should be on a soapbox in Hyde Park (or wherever those soap boxes are) and ranting about this, I choose to do it in a different way.
Clarification: this is not about taking sides, pointing fingers or complaining about the state of the world or the people who lead us, this is purely philosophical.
I guess a philosophical programmer is a rare species.
