It's a recurrent theme to see somewhat illegal startups becoming massive and then adjusting for the laws. I.e. youtube, airbnb, rapgenius.
That's one kind of unfair advantage that startups have over bigger organisations where they can spread and grow quickly even if a bit illegal (or on the grey line).
I'm just speculating here but I'm wondering if it couldn't be a good indicator of success for upcoming startups.. I.e. something a tiny big illegal gaining some adoptions. But then, it's fair to ask, how far are founders willing to go in the "illegal" side for the success of their startup?
