This raises an interesting point I've thought a lot on which is "Developer Moral Responsibility" (Best way I can sum it it). I've started 2-3 blog posts on this subject only to shelve them indefinitely as the "gray" things I've been involved in were minor on the grand scale and the places I worked at when those things occurred were 99% "good" and I wouldn't want to smear their names over things that were minor at best (the "everyone else is doing it argument/excuse"). I would love it if a "Developer Morality Manifesto" or similar were created and accepted at both a developer and company level to cover some of these "dark" practices
