I agree.
This is the same industry that formed a "wage-fixing cartel" against
their own developers and engineers.
I'm sure that they will do anything they think they can get away with.

> The defendants are Adobe, Apple Inc., Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar,
Lucasfilm and eBay, all high-technology companies with a principal place
of business in the San Francisco–Silicon Valley area of California.
Pando had a story about the scope of the fraud:
> "Revealed: Apple and Google's wage-fixing cartel involved dozens more
companies, over one million employees"
> Confidential internal Google and Apple memos, buried within piles of
court dockets and reviewed by PandoDaily, clearly show that what began as
a secret cartel agreement between Apple’s Steve Jobs and Google’s Eric
Schmidt to illegally fix the labor market for hi-tech workers, expanded
within a few years to include companies ranging from Dell, IBM, eBay and
Microsoft, to Comcast, Clear Channel, Dreamworks, and London-based public
relations behemoth WPP. All told, the combined workforces of the
companies involved totals well over a million employees.
