> But the idea that when you don't like a law, you're free to ignore it is not something acceptable in a civilized society.

Civil disobedience is very much a part of civilized society, your premise is flawed.




This particular case is not civil disobedience, it's a company getting rich off illegal activity.

As for civil disobedience itself - it may be necessary sometimes, but this should be something rare, not a business model.


When a company ignores what they consider bad laws, it most certainly is civil disobedience.
