This is one of those situations where it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. Even the most cold-hearted corporate ghoul is going to understand the cost/benefit of going after that family isn't remotely worth it.
Yeah, the lawyers are going to say "no". But even if they're stupid enough to sue: some suit that isn't a moron is going to tell them to drop it during the ensuing PR nightmare, and the family will be swimming in donations.
“This Spider Man thing really paid off, Honey!”
Well the reason it is like this, is because the lawyers that get to decide are "only doing their job" and can blame the policy. The ones responsible for policy are just slaves to the megacorp automaton machine that continues to not regard morals or ethics or laws in its hunger for profit. The one responsible for this mess is a machine where you can replace any or even all individuals and it will still continue to globally absorb value and eat anyone in its way. We nurture and cheer these machines on because they give us "profit" when in fact it gives only some profits to specific people that hoard it in Panama. I am very against these entities of destruction, but targeting any individual human is never going to help, and we probably can't stop them without actually using politics. Except all available options in politics all want to and are praised for nurturing these entities because they bring illusory cash flow to the region
