At the end of the day, whether a music company is greedy or not, you are breaking the law by stealing music. We live in capitalism, so, suck it up and buy what's not yours and quit stealing it. Just because Wal-Mart for example is a money hungry corporation, does that mean I can walk in and steal whatever I want? No.. If you don't support the music companies, stop listening to music. Fact is, we like music and a lot of money is put into promoting and recording bands that go no where. When a music company finds a gem of a band, the market the shit out of them to make money to not only recoupe losses from the other useless bands, but, to actually turn a profit and employee music engineers, producers, distributers etc etc and then make a profit at the end of the day (why else would you be in business??) ..
