Exactly....what is wrong with these people? Netflix streaming is exploding. Why ruin a good thing? Everything is "more money" bottom line. It'll never end....more money....higher profits...gimme gimme gimme....we only made $1 billion in profits this year? We need to make more! Raise the bar, set the new standard! We promised the shareholders 20% more! The customers can eat it...

Interesting idea - Try to dictate how a market you don't understand will work. That strategy has been such a success for the record labels I can't see how this could possibly backfire.
