Should Companies Not Named in Suit Continue Operating?

As discovered by Nathan at a local video store, the fact remains that six months after the pivotal judgment issued by Judge Matsch, some companies that were not specifically named in the suit continue to operate. The question is, do such companies have a moral responsibility to cease operations, since their methods have been shown to be illegal?

Personally, I have to say yes. Do I believe in what they are doing? Of course I do…I’ve been a strong supporter from the beginning. But I also believe in the rule of law, and submitting to authorities. In my opinion, these companies would serve themselves better in the long-run to cease operations and spend time and money lobbying congress for legislation that is fair and family-friendly. Is it not hypocritical to cry to Hollywood for morality in movies while operating a business that is shown to be illegal?
