Is it okay to support corporate greed if it's only a little bit?

So you buy an RIAA CD occasionally.

It's not like you're paying millions of dollars to finance a music cartel and all the poverty and lawsuits it creates.

And you understand the argument that RIAA money contributes to terrible things.

That if you buy an RIAA CD, your money goes to people who are responsible for bankrupting college students, using their influence in Congress to threaten our civil liberties, clogging the courts with lawsuits and forcing musicians into abusive one-sided contracts. That if you stopped buying RIAA CDs, the dealers would go away, the abuse of monopoly would end.

You get all that.
