So, any profiting and market segmentation is abuse?

The same word we use for raping kids?

Give off.



No, not any profiting is abuse. I thought I made that quite clear. With apologies for quoting myself:

> If it were a boutique shop I wouldn't call it abusive. It's a combination of the bad behavior and the exercise of raw power that makes it so.

I was raped as a kid, friend. Many times.


> I was raped as a kid, friend. Many times.

and many of my friends were, which is why I would prefer we keep words with strong meaning quite strong.

A company operating as a company, not even unethically in this case is too far away.
