No, his netbook+bank account situation does indeed show similarities to the main question.

If you read between the lines, it amounts to "What is the minimum legal standard I have to follow to make money on this questionably gotten X?"

That's a sad question to have to ask.

The blame for the sad situation goes to stock markets and stock market regulations in the first place. They make it illegal to know things about companies.
