Cool guys yeah some of them but none the less some are the most unethical fuck heads you never met. I think Ethics has very little to do with this industry. If it's legal or technically legal there is no moral about a decision.
It could be spam, UBE, Dialers, Shaving, Shooting 18 year old girls with braces on thier birth day's. It oculd be stealing traffic, jacking traffic, stealing content outright, You name it, it has been done. So clearly what is ethic? Ethic is nothing more than a matter of comfort and some have more and some have less of it.
I were to deem myself as ethical I seriously doubt I would have been in this business as long as I have.

Agreed. But I think this can be said about any industry. The older I get the more I've realized that all humans are greedy animals period. We are all selfish and greedy, EVERYONE. It's simply that some of us are more greedy and selfish than others.
And the plain FACT is the greediest people with least morals and ethics make the most money period! Bill Gates stole the windows interface from Apple remember! If he would have though "hey apple is cool, I know steve personaly, i don't want to steal his ideas, lets be original"...Bill wouldn't have made Microsoft what it is today
If you make millions a year, you most likely are super agressive in bussiness and tend not to think of the consequences of your actions. "Make money today, deal with the repricusions when they come. Biz is biz. No one is friends in biz etc.". I've hard it all, and it's all true.
You want to be wealthy? Then you need to look at every company out there as you enemy, as your competition and feel from the inside out that you will do whatever it takes to beat them and not feel an ounce of guilt doing it.
Me personaly. If I started Microsfot, and if I happen to actually become friends with Steve Jobs...I would have NEVER been able to bring myself to flat out steal there interface. I would have tried to be original and not screw over my friends company...and that thinking would have let microsoft fall behind and apple win.
Me Personaly....I'm to damn nice....and therefore not "wealthy"...
