As a Canadian ex-patriot, relocated (LEGALLY, I might add) to the US, I don't see a problem with what has transpired.
In fact, IIRC, isn't the ideal/idea of Capitalism to make a living at doing something via the exchange of goods or services? whether it's done well or not doesn't seem to matter to a lot these days, unfortunately?
Part of that ideal/idea (at least, as I see it) is being able to do with your business what you like (obviously within legal parameters, unless you are in bed with certain gov't officials)? If these two things are true, then I see no problem for Dynaudio choosing this course.
Obviously, people will be out of a job(s). Sure it will add to the (under and non) employment issues that we have, but that is life! If systems aren't/weren't in place to cope with that, we have only ourselves to blame for being a little too self centered with our own well-being to be bothered to worry about our proverbial brother(s)...
I've been both the underemployed low man, and I've also been the business owner. I've lived both the "sell-out-to-the-highest-bidder" and "sold-out-from-under" thing. Do I have a thicker skin as a result? Did I struggle to get through and reinvent myself? Sure on both accounts!!! Maybe one could say it is "Economic Darwinism" in two parts- the weak will go bankrupt while the strong will become wealthy- AND/OR- those who have made a living and are now ready to retire (really meaning; move onto the next goal in life). In other words; THEY EVOLVED (regardless of what Christianity might say- I DO believe in Economic Darwinism!).
Then again, this is only MY opinion.
YMMV...
