Rob, rules are meant for society, not as a mandate to any one individual or business. In the case of free markets, though ideal, it is not possible for a business to be truly free of rules, as with persons. An individual person, business, et al, alone is only to abide by themselves. Once part of a society, market, et al, rules are required to ensure we "play nicely" with others.
