There should probably be an entire chapter written on "Okay, but what if the product was desirable but not 'technically' legal, hmmm?" :-)


It would say "we all know how it went" :)


Had an interesting discussion this past weekend on whether or not Silkroad was a criminal enterprise or a very successful startup. It was an interesting look at the question of 'business first' versus 'lawful first' societies and their relative success through history.


I would say good luck finding enough very successful companies NOT matching that description to fill a chapter.
