Yes, $327k is a hugely lucrative amount for the Koreans to make via fines. That must be why they’re stealing it from the noble American tech companies who work so hard to enrich humanity.

Actually, yes, the American tech companies are working hard to enrich humanity. They enrich themselves too. But they've given off tremendous consumer surplus just in comparison to the previous decade, and you'd have to argue in bad faith to suggest otherwise.

But hey you can complain about Americans tech companies. It fits right into the GP's point that attacking American tech companies is hot for governments.

I'm confused as to why you think corporations can be in any way considered noble, but OK.
