They feel that selling tech to some devil is a new thing. IBM sold tech equipment to the Nazis 65 years ago. It will never change. Doesnt make it right, but its nothing new.

What these businesses do not realize is that they are hurting the very people that they depend on. When they hurt those who keep them in business, they eventually lose out. When corporations support repression, censorship, and slavery, this does the following: 1. It turns off consciencious customers from using their service. I no longer use any of Yahoo's "services." 2. In the case of companies using slave labor, this drains the incomes of customers in "wealthier" nations. The customers will eventually no longer have money to buy their product. 3. In cases of repression and censorship, customers who are affected will ususally have no choice but to go other routes to get the information that they want. These methods incude p2p, FreeWan, Sneakernet, and other ways. I would rather download articles from these services than use the likes of Yahoo. Once the multinational corporations wipe out or alienate their workers and or customer base, who will they depend on for their money supply? The multinational corporations are just beginning to reap what they have sowed. They keep complaining that sales are down. Well, that is because the Burger King jobs that people have to take pay no where as near as what manufacturing jobs that were exported (by same companies) paid. The companies that are listed in the article most likely realize that it is best to be honest. I would not invest in a company that will eventually destroy itself because it does not look out for the people that make business possible. The multinationals that have been extorting money in the "Sue Them All" campaign have definitly alienated me because of their bullying and overpriced stuff. I no longer patronize them. Not only that, I show people who just have to have their crap how to use peer to peer software as well as FreeWan. If ethical business practice is considered tree hugging, then I am going to find a nice big oak :-) The problem with the Multinational Corporate “Capitalism” is that the companies that practice it believe that in order for them to profit, someone has to lose.
