Nobody's forcing anyone to buy anything. If they don't want to buy it they shouldn't. But that doesn't give them the right to take it for free. If they don't want it they shouldn't take it. But they do want it so they do take it - they just don't want to pay, because they can get away with being cheap bastards.
