And don't think they've not tried to in the past.
They tend to view albums as intellectual property rather than commodities, which is somewhat baffling considering how commodified the music industry has become. Have you seen disclaimers they throw on the back of CDs?

I purchase almost all my music from independent record stores so I don't feel too bad when half of them are secondhand when the money is still going to support independent retailers.
