I identify as a libertarian... But all these folks blaming the government in this case without truly knowing what took place but just jumping to the regulations are to blame conclusion, make me ill.

Yes the law of unintended consequences often occurs with regulations however blatantly taking advantage of someone or something is wrong, legal or illegal. This is where we need a jury of peers to determine whether we want to encourage or discourage the behavior that this company took part in. I'd find this company guilty in a heart beat.

It's like jury nullification in reverse.

All it takes for evil to triumph is good men to do nothing.
