It's bad ethics, but worry not. Meta tags will usually have no effect on
search engines. They may be used by other Web services though.

Keywords will have no real effect (if any) on ranks, but there is no reason
in the world why the site should be /described/ by making a mention of its
competition. Contact the site in question and demand that the Webmaster
rectifies this.
With kind regards,
