Agreed, that list is way too long. Lets just do a hypothetical example as to why this is a bad idea.
You buy an HP computer; HP warehouses their customer service reps in India currently, but due to the penalties they decide to move the operation over here. Now the cost for this service has grown exponentially, so HP decides to do one of three things: They either a) hire less service reps, resulting in very long wait times when you call, b) raise the prices on their products which you are buying in order to cover the differential, or c) they do both.
