That is in Europe, perhaps.
In the good old USA that is not so.

We sued Sony in 1971 for making records with our songs without a license from us and without paying us any royalties. At the time we though we were talking about 3 records. No we know 24 (or more) illegal records were being made. The records can still be purchase in the USA on the web, so distribution continues. Is that not being over the law.

Large companies are simply stupid first in violating the law and then arrogant when facing the law.
