I understand that they do a lot of good with thier money, but without the system they rail against, most people would have never heard of them.

This is true, and one of the reasons that even though they were great they needed to break up or sink further and further into this hypocricy. I had to laugh everytime I heard a censored version of "Guerilla Radio" on some ClearChannel station.
Someone once made a joke (SNL? I can't remember) that now that they're millionairres they're changing their name to Mildly Annoyed At The Machine. I think that pretty well sums it up.
