Apart from being morally reprehensible, I'm somewhat surprised they
weren't worried about the adverse publicity if it ever became public
knowledge. In my limited experience, it's the negative impact on a
company's reputation, and thus potential loss of business, rather than
the illegality that stops them short of this kind of behavior. I
don't know about the States, but in the UK employees are actively
encouraged to be 'whistleblowers' if they become aware of their
company acting unlawfully.
For what it's worth, my recommendation would be not to publish the
compiler.
