BoingBoing has the details.
Why do companies act this way? And what makes them think that in the long run they can get away with it?

If we were to have to deal with the music oligarchs directly, the experience would be so toxic that 100 percent of the world would turn into Kazaa downloaders in 30 days.

Otherwise, I have no problem not buying their shitty music.
