Further counterpoints to the 2 points of criticism you raise. 1) Exploitation of immigrant workers (especially undocumented) is already common place within this country's borders, tho primarily for low-skilled jobs. I don't see any inherent economic incentive to worker exploitation on boat, above what unscrupulous employees already take advantage of on-shore. 2) Should legislation like the Startup Visa actually come to pass, the population on this boat could then simply move on-shore, and probably enjoy cheaper operating expenses. That population would already be rather unmoored, so to speak, so relocating shouldn't be too much of a hurdle.
