What gets me the most about these sorts of stories is how they’re specifically doing this for profit and are not only getting away with it, they’re partnering with other megacorps and are collectively being propped up by institutions and governments that jail individuals that wouldn’t even register on the chart for lost profits.

Doing it for personal use, without profit or gain, is supposedly illegal. Doing it for profit certainly appears to be legal.
