If your company can't exist without breaking the law, then it shouldn't exist.

I disagree. Laws aren't always moral. Texas could outlaw donations to the Rainbow Railroad and it would be wrong, the organization should still exist.

But in this case it is pretty clear that the plagiarism machine is in fact, bad and should not exist, at least not in it's current form.

I feel like in that case one would be loudly fighting to get the law changed, rather than insisting it's actually fine. Maybe that's just semantics.

I don't think the people who are supporters of jury nullification are saying such laws are fine.

Well, some laws are made to be broken, the question is whether this is one of them.
