Somebody needs to make a company shit list so I can avoid them. I got EA, Hasbro, Nestle so far.
spoiler alert though, it's literally everybody. because everyone else is doing it, it's not possible to survive as a business in a competitive space without doing, for lack of a better word, the devil's work. It will take a major social disruption to change this, but it won't happen in an organized fashion because we as a species are pathetic. The disruption will be the end of the world - North America cracking down the middle due to all the fracking, the Greenland glacier sliding into the ocean all at a go, something like that. FAFO endgame shit, due any minute now anyway.
One solution is to support government regulation of these industries. Deregulation is the cause of much of this crap.
Well, if you deregulate patents and copyright (that is, abolish them, with only trademark laws remaining), then I'd expect only positive results.
