Artificial scarcity in order to support the old business model. Rather than adapting, the industry is trying to fight a legal battle against technology. Having laws based on concepts like "copies", that have little meaning with regards to digital data, is not a long term solution. However, the dinosaur isn't going to just lay down quietly and die. It's going to make a big mess before the inevitable end.
