Justin,
The example you give is of poor context. No one was ever required to pay to stop at an traffic interersection. The law is there for public safety and a ticket is for deterrence. However, note that you will still receive a ticket for speeding and running traffic lights when the cameras go off. But its not so good an example as you said.
A better example is like is running a car through a toll booth and not paying. You are supposed to pay to the manufacturer of the road the right to use the road. You don't and the road manufacturer comes after you with a hefty fine. In this example the road manufacturer is the big label, the road is the song.
I don't see anything wrong with this.
