The examples you mention are all of someone stealing from the rich. But otherwise, even the most blatant obstruction of justice goes unanswered. “Greyball”: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/03/technology/uber-greyball-... My uncle went to jail for picking up someone in an airport in his taxi. He didnt have the airport permit (could only drop off, not pick up). Travis Kalanick industrialized that crime on a grand scale and got billions of dollars instead of jail. | ||

Aaron Swartz downloaded big part of JSTOR to make a statistical model for some research, was charged with hacking felony and committed suicide because of it. Sam Altman downloaded all of JSTOR and then rest of the internet to make a statistical model to make a commercial product. He is praised for it. The lesson is clear. Don't make things that don't make money to the already rich. | ||
