And yet, many companies choose to act that way. The RIAA and MPAA companies come to mind, in particular. You might argue that they're just protecting their products from piracy, but when it comes to things like the blank CD-R tax and DRM keeping you from backing up your own files, they definitely are that bellicose in my opinion, and I think they've destroyed their goodwill.


I would never categorize the RIAA and MPAA as service-oriented companies. I believe this is comparing apples and oranges.
