It shouldn't, but that's a different discussion for a different time.
The bottom line is that it IS illegal to run an unlicensed site, and he had a huge advantage in the market because everyone else who would have run a similar site (myself included) did not do so because of its illegal status.
Whether or not you agree with all laws in society, you are expected to follow them. If you choose not to, you can't complain about the consequences.
Basically, you can't just say, "Screw licensing requirements, I'll run my own casino without a license, and then claim I'm being persecuted if I get busted for it."
