I can like country music, you can like alternative music. It doesn't have to mean anything else but preference.
But country music isn't all about monopolizing radio infrastructure and using dirty tricks to keep new music genres down for profit...
I don't think anyone is questioning the fact that they make great products, the problem is that they use their power to hurt real competition. They are masters of stealing ideas but when other companies try to do the same to them, they want to unleash a "full thermonuclear war" - as Steve said. They just don't want to play on level playing fields.
