Well, that's a bit of an extreem analogy, and I'm not sure it really
applies to this discussion. Your analogy references illegal

regardless of how distasteful they may be to some.

Therein lies the problem ... his methods may be "legal", but many are
arguably unethical in a capitalistic system, which must have a
moral/ethical component to survive (in the sense that he games the
system at others expense).


I don't disagree with that or with anyone elses's objection to his moral
character. I do however disagree with anyone thinking they have the right
to suggest how profitable he or anyone else "should" be, and/or how
altruistic they need to be in order to be "moral" - while they themselves
don't give away their own worth.


How many are suggesting he give it away, one? And how would you know whether
or not they give away their "worth". Think GPL and the Free Software
Foundation.
