"But Timothy M. Reynolds, one of the lawyers for the record labels, 
countered that "the defendant is a hard-core, habitual, long-term infringer 
who knew what he was doing was wrong but did it anyway.''
Reynolds was among a team of lawyers for Sony BMG Music Entertainment, 
Warner Bros. Records Inc., Arista Records LLC, and UMG Recordings Inc. "

Why isn't there an organized boycott of  Sony BMG Music Entertainment, 
Warner Bros. Records Inc., Arista Records LLC, and UMG Recordings Inc? If 
this offends people so much, then they should avoid anything on the label. 
Don't buy it. Don't  download it for free, since that would only support 
their case.
