You're being short sighted dude.
What? do you really think that these megalomaniacs infesting the recording industry are going to sit back and then have an epiphany -- "whoa! I just realized that monopolizing an artists rights and screwing over my clients is wrong! Let me change my evil ways!"
Yeah, right.
This is what is really going on in their heads: " Power. I must have power! This Swedish pansy is taking my Power! Must crush him with lawyers and bribed government officials!" (note the "bribed" part)
Read that article by Courtney Love. She describes that what these loons are about is power, first and foremost. They don't care about you and your ideals. All they care about is taking more cash for themselves - even at the expense of their own company! If you want to read that article, go here where you'll find a link.
The only way to stop jackasses like that is to stop buying their damn music That means you go to alternative sources, you sacrifice a little so that you don't get over-regulated by these power-hungry freaks.
