Theft in this case. Well, morally, not legally, I guess...

Not that it's anything new. The powerful have exploited the weak since
people first worked out that you could hit other people with rocks. It's
almost more that people (whether through duplicity or simple stupidity)
claim free trade is not a form of theft that bothers me more than the
exploitation itself.
