U.S. businesses seem to abuse their customers more

This may seem unrelated, but reading this post made several parallels pop up in my mind. The RedSkins are suing fans who were obviously previously supporting them financially but ran into hardships. The RIAA sues grandmothers who spent a LIFETIME buying recordings for ONE song playing in the background on a video of their grandchild dancing which they uploaded to YouTube. After a lifetime of most of us paying AT&T for services of one sort or another, they are literally holding back services like data tethering from iPhone customers (who are already paying for unlimited data) until they can figure out a way to price gouge us for those services.

Are U.S. companies just too evil and greedy to be in business anymore? Are we, as consumers, to blame for letting it happen? What can we really do about it?
