No, they are merely entrepreneurs with no morals and a criminal
tendency.

I think you are in furious agreement here.

No morals generally implies a criminal tendency, since crimes are
mostly things that are, except for their antisocial and/or immoral
attributes, attractive one way or another.  (Unattractive things
generally don't get done enough to be made into crimes.)

I also think that "no morals" _is_ "sociopathic" in many respects.


I can see your point if we discuss it philosophically, however, these 
things have clinical definitions. A spammer may be a regular human being 
such as you or I, with very similar psychology. A sociopath very likely 
isn't.
