Whenever you see that a company has broken the law do you assume the company did something wrong?

Law agencies and governments have done their job well to tell people that the law is always right and any infraction against it always wrong.

But what if the law is corrupt and abusive to the private company or citizen? Aren’t they well within their right to stand up to oppression and exploitation?

"lawbreaker" or "criminal" is a SLUR. It's used to make you feel bad about thinking outside the box the gov wants you to fit into.

You're right. IMO 90% of laws are bad. Therefore breaking many of them is perfectly morally acceptable.

Judge actions morally. Not legally. Legal ≠ Moral

Laws have a very powerful effect on our minds, it takes pretty dire circumstances to break them. I’m not sure what level of affliction will empower the average person to resist, but I fear we are not even close.
