    If a person breaks into a Industrial Plant and steals $10000 worth of computer hardware and the software that was on it, they go to jail for a long time during which they are not allowed much if any “profits”/income. When a Corporation steals $100million, they pay the other company and gain even more money if they are in market dominate position.

    This exchange of money from thief to victim however misses compensating the most aggrieved party, the marketplace > users > you. Really overall though, Civilization loses.

    The problem with the Corporate Legal System is that once something like this is found to happen, morally, ethically, and to secure the future of Civlization, the thieving company should be shutdown in 6mos and all assets put up for auction.

    Corporations have legal “personhood”, but it seems to be just the best parts. Since this is well known to nVidia CEO Jensen Huang maybe he just said to himself, “It’s just Business”.
