This has real "Home Taping is Killing Music" vibes.

But god damn do these corporate vultures really think that we owe them something.

No, this is a financial transaction. I am buying a product from you, and once I have paid you, I owe you nothing more. Endless attempts to make your business model endlessly extractive from your customer base just shows you have shitty business management skills and don't know how to grow your business outside of nickel-and-diming people to death.
