Except that it doesn't make the unequal extraction of resources from the workers illegal, which is what this fella was arguing. That at the end of the day you're arguing it's unfair that one scum fuck organization is stealing from another scum fuck organization, so who really cares? It's not about the corporate espionage but the actual root problem of extraction of resources for inadequate recompense due to the stranglehold that those with power/capital have on the amount of wages that are paid.
He's arguing that the people that Google, apple, Microsoft and whatever other companies have built their fortunes on the backs of their workers who will never see even a 1/1000 of the capital that their work brought into the company which makes all the companies unjust in the first place.
Why do we, the proletariat, care if they steal from each other? We don't own the ideas we generate when we work for them, they do, so I at least don't see any reason to give a shit.
