Arrrrrrrrg!
Piracy is definitely one of those things that's greatly frowned upon in my family. It's been frowned upon in my family since the time it first became big. My parents never allowed it, and now I don't allow it. Other than the fact that it is wrong to steal from people, I'm deathly afraid of those companies who will go to great lengths to make sure that people suffer for their wrong doings. So afraid of them actually that I've avoided them all together, and rarely listen to any kind of new music. I'm content with my Beach Boys CDs that I've transferred to my computer, and I'll be content for many more years until those companies seem less scary, and more wanting of my money. Don't get me wrong, I know they want my money, they just don't know how to get it yet, and when enough people stop buying stuff from them, the power will return to the consumer, where it's actually been the whole time anyways.

For some reason your post put images in my mind of big companies personified as mob enforcers who break the kneecaps of those they catch stealing from "the family." I think there are some innovative people finding legal ways to get music out there and get people listening to it without piracy and thus the fear of being sent to sleep with the fishes. Things like Spotify or Pandora are great and innovative ways that people are letting you listen to things other than the Beach Boys while still giving the artists thier dues.
