It was thus said that the Great Paul Berger once
stated:
Well I disagree, polluting the environment in a third world country
might help protect the company's bottom line too, but I don't think that
should be considered acceptable even by the shareholders.
At least the EU seem to be not as screwed up, I understand they have
regulations that makes it illegal for companies to put chips in printers
to lock out third party supplies.
I'm having fun watching companies as they use the DMCA for stopping
competing products like universal garage door openers (Chamberlain vs
skylink) and competing toner cartridges (Lexmark vs. Static Control
Components). This is a totally wacked system with a runaway program.
But a public company is more or less forced to do such stupid things to
fulfil it's fudiciary responsibility to the shareholders or they're then
liable to be sued by said shareholders for not increasing the value of the
company. Ok, the day you read in the paper that I blew up
Disney's headquarters,
I'll also be sending you a check for One Million Dollars!!
That would be an act of commercial terrorism ... even talking about it
could land your ass in jail! :^)
