If a company is not breaking the law, but the government decides that what they are doing should be illegal, the government should introduce the appropriate legislation.
But unless or until such a change in the law is made, a company should not (IMHO) be "vilified" for conducting business legally.

The question is of course whether moral comes into play or not. I think the example of Switzerland has been used here are MR before.
Switzerland has great tax laws and loopholes for companies facilitating tax avoidance in other jurisdictions. Is it appropriate to question the morality of those companies saving money by using these laws?
Switzerland has laws allowing the downloading of all copyrighted materials. Is it appropriate to question the morality of those individuals saving money by using these laws?
