Its a racketeering variation on the "Blank CD" tax some countries have ... they just assume everyone is "stealing" somehow. Many companies just bend over rather than legally challenge it (short term risk/benefit analysis).

Microsoft has reached the end-stage of looking for revenue streams by any means rather than actually selling something customers might want.
