I don't think so, Ferengi actually know how to do business and the behavior of our CEOs would horrify them.
I'm no expert on Ferengi business theory, but I've always been under the impression that a true Ferengi would pass on a quick one time profit in favor of a lesser - but sustainable - profit. In other words - long term thinking was favored.
Unfortunately, here on Earth, it doesn't work this way. The "Quarterly" is God.
Let's pretend that I'm the CEO of a large corporation. The company I run has been slowly losing money for a few years - and I've been blaming "A Slow Economy", "Taxes", "Government Regulations", etc. I haven't lost enough money that I get fired, i just don't get a bonus. So I finagle the books a bit, and shift the losses all to the first three quarters. The last quarter I seem to actually make a profit - I don't really, but by shifting the profit/loss stuff I make it look that way. I get a huge bonus based on the alleged profits I made on that last quarter (and there's no "fine" for the three quarters where I lost money - just no bonus).
To put it simply - I can profit even when the company (and it's shareholders and emplyees) don't. At worst I will collect my base salary, and at best I get a bonus on top of that. If I do so poorly that I get fired, I collect a very hefty "severance package" (aka the Golden Parachute), and then, being an "experienced CEO" get hired almost immediately by another company - where i do the same thing all over again. I learned this at the College where I earned by Degree in Business.
How many of you know people who are addicted to gambling? I live in Wisconsin (where we have the largest "per Capita" alcohol consumption rate in the US). We have a very active and powerful "Tavern Leage". When the Native Americans were allowed to open Casinos, the Tavern League lobbied for bars to be allowed to have "Video Slot Machines", and won. I know several people who are addicted to Gambling. They only seem to remember when they win - and forget all the times they lose. They brag about winning 50 bucks one night - and just forget that they lost a few hundred the week before.
Owning stock is a gamble - and comes with that same memory loss. As long as a company seems to earn a profit once in a while the share holders seem to forget that the company is actually worth less today than it was when they bought in. That one profitable quarter seems to give them some kind of fantasy hope that the profitable quarter will repeat - never mind that the profitable quarters are few and far between.
Publicly owned corporations don't exist to make products. Let's say I run a Corporation called "WidgetCo". We make Widgets which people want or need. Our goal here at WidgetCo isn't to make Widgets, our goal is to make money. Making Widgets is just a means to that end.
Now, Butterfly Media probably isn't a publicly traded corporation - more likely it's some form of LLC (Limited Liability Company - or whatever the UK version of that is called) owned by a limited group of private investors. They still have the goal of making money - not an actual product. They can make a claim that they aren't responsible for the piracy - because they don't directly sell the product themselves. They sucker poor and desperate and/or lazy people into selling it for them. While they still profit from the piracy, they have a legal layer of "insulation". While it would be possible to dig through that insulation and successfully press charges, it would cost a lot of money (in legal fees, etc) to do so. Butterfly Media targets small, "Free Software" providers like Martin because they simply can't afford to successfully fight the legal battle - and since Orbiter is free and there is no claim of "lost profits" the Government can't be bothered to pay for it either.
Even if one person does successfully sue them, no-one goes to jail. It's too hard to say that any specific person is responsible - and you can't incarcerate a company. The end result is that the company pays a fine while the people who are actually responsible collect bonuses based on the profits made before the fine was paid - and who don't have to pay the fine themselves. And even if Martin got a settlement that was more than Butterfly Media profited by "selling" Orbiter - they have dozens of other "products" that aren't suing - so overall they still make a profit. They simply gamble that any individual copyright owner won't sue - and are prepared to pay the rare exception. In the end, they still profit.
The sad thing is that this is what they teach you to do in business school. For one example, look at MicroSoft. They used illegal practices, and were caught, convicted of felonious violations of the Anti-Trust laws, and were fined. Yet they still profited from those illegal activities and are held up an example of "Good Business Practices".
Apple is no better. Locking the I-Phone into one network was a clear violation of Anti-Trust laws. Now, Apple was a bit smarter and didn't wait til it went to court. When the other Cell Networks threatened to take it to court Apple relented and is now opening the I-Phone to other networks. They violated US laws, but since they didn't wait until it went to court they will never be charged - or fined - for the illegal activities they engaged in. This is also held up as a "Role Model" of "Good Business".
MicroSoft and Apple are just two of hundreds of examples of this. The modern Western business theory holds that breaking the law as long as you can get away with it isn't just acceptable - it's laudable. As long as it makes a profit.
I can't speak for the political system in countries other than the USA, but here there is no change in sight. The only people who could change this are the elected officials and representatives. However, it costs a LARGE fortune to run for office - and the only source of that kind of money are the very corporations who engage in these illegal and immoral activities. Obama tried to use "Grass Roots" financing when he ran for president - and ended up taking huge sums of money from the Oil industry (among others) simply so he could afford to compete. Now we have a President who can't deliver on the promise of Hope and Change that was his initial platform. Partly because he owes his election to the very powers he promised to fight, and partly because he isn't a King and the Congresspeople and Senators are also "In the Pocket" of big business and simply won't let him. That is, of course, assuming he ever really intended to deliver on those promises - I can't think of a president (since Carter) who acted like they meant what they said when campaigning.
The only way we, as common people, can fight this is through the Boycott. We could stop spending our money at Walmart and support local businesses. We could switch to Linux. We could buy our cars from Tesla Motors instead of GM. This would mean spending a lot more money for the products we buy, and most of us simply can't afford that.
Short of that, we can become politically active. Write letters (actual paper snail mail - not just "fill in the blank" form e-mails - they just get deleted or filtered) to your elected representatives. Fill the voice mail at their office. Let them know that you actually care - and will vote accordingly. Don't expect any immediate results - persistance and perserverence are required.
Urwumpe makes a good point - if you can make a case for tax evasion the Government WILL take up arms!
