    It’s profitable to companies doing that; they know well they will eventually be caught, but that doesn’t matter. Only if they could make such companies pay double the damage they cause they would think twice before doing that (so make Oracle pay 100 billion). But the government won’t let it happen, because the government is compliant and benefits from this.
