why don't you just buy a different product sold on terms you agree with?
I'm not GP, but I think the real problem is lack of competition. There's no real competition in this marked, they all collude.
One example: If Big-Movie-Studio-A sold their movies online as downloadable, DRM-free content, I would be much more inclined to buy their movies instead of the competitions. There's hundreds of ways the movie studios could differentiate themselves, but they don't. They obviously do not want to compete on most fronts.
