That's exactly the thing that matters when you're dealing with something where every loophole is going to have a caravan of trucks driving through it.

You're picking the thing which is a hopeless disaster as your exemplar?

Everything with profit "is going to have a caravan of trucks driving through it". He have laws anyway for those things, and for the most part, they're effective. I'd take a relative improvement even if it's not 100% over free reign.

I don't consider it a "hopeless disaster" (except in it's effects on society). As a business it's regulated, and for the most part, stays and follows within those regulations. The existence of dark illegal versions of it, or exploitation in the industry, doesn't negate this.
