> Can we acknowledge that immoral acts are often not illegal and illegal acts are often not immoral and then say that it's put to rest that it's obviously and definitely a dirt bag move?

Absolutely! No disagreement from me there.

I would also add that (to me personally) companies choosing what the law allows over what is moral doesn't impress me at all, in fact it lowers (sometimes drastically) my opinion of the company. When companies choose the moral thing over not-illegal-but-gross, especially when it costs them money, it raises them a huge deal in my book. I try to celebrate those decisions when I see them.
