Organizations deliberately breaking the law for profit is generally called "organized crime".
Drug dealers provide something of value and personally I think we would be way better off if drugs were legalized. So we're going to call our local drugs-gangs "disruptive startups" now?
90% procent of the time these companies are simply breaking privacy, consumer protection and labor laws for one reason and one reason only: greed. So occasionally they may stumble upon a law that actually needs reform. Even a broken clock is right twice per day.
That doesn't make me okay with OK with breaking the law as a business strategy, especially since most of the time it isn't the Comcasts of this world that suffer the consequences, but individual workers and consumers.
This Robin Hood worship is pathetic. These startups are not making the world a better place.
>> Organizations deliberately breaking the law for profit is generally called "organized crime".
You know, I actually agree with you, by the definitions of things we have in place today, that is, in fact, organized crime. And since most people violate three laws a day, and we use various corporate affiliations to do it, it would follow that we are all members of a vast organized crime syndicate.

Don't know about "local drug-gangs," but yeah, I see my friendly, neighborhood reefer dealer as an entrepreneur who provides a valued service.
