    Okay, but hear me out: the notion that a business model is “cheaper” doesn’t matter if it’s also criminal because it violates their customers’ property rights.

      Oh, this sounds like a ridiculously easy case to win. So where is that case where someone had a car that was being sold in an illegal manner and they won? Just one, anywhere in the world. And not the one about the VW emissions scandal. Most diesel vehicle drivers don’t really care about emissions, and no one was paying less for a non-EPA qualifying option.
