I would never take my business model and say.. oh fuck.. we have to adjust because there is no way to overcome people giving our stuff away. That's just the wrong path to take.

First, people do accept the common practice every day when the j-walk across the street or smoke marijuana or any number or offences that are technically illegal. Our society does dictate what is acceptable and what is not, the laws in general follow to suit what society wants in a democracy.
Perhaps forgetting about a business model that is no longer profitable is the best decision these companies can make. Otherwise they are going to continue to loose money year after year until even their investors loose faith that the people running these companies can't turn a profit.
