Perhaps they're doing it during their day jobs, meaning on top of their normal job, effectively "double dipping." Could be a good, low-risk way to fill downtime.

Most employers don't tolerate this behavior.

"What, you're making money for yourself during the time you're supposed to be working for us?!"

It's unethical and almost certainly illegal, but IANAL.

No argument that it would definitely be unethical. But how is it illegal? What criminal violations are occurring?
