No way this thread should have gone 5 pages without a mention of the entity that's doing its best to kill music as an art form.

Amen! I was about to post that till I decided to scroll through the pages to see if someone beat me to it. Actually I was expecting this to be on the first 2 pages!
 
Hallmark... for "inventing" holidays for which I have to purchase cards or face the wrath of the wife. 😛

Oh... and for creating cards that are $5+ each.
 
Timewarner Cable. A few years ago I would have definitely chosen Ticketmaster but I don't attend enough concerts anymore to care about them ripping people off.
 
I would initially say Walmart, just because I hate going there. But if Walmart was to go down, all of their customers would probably flock to Target.

I'd rather keep Walmart right where it is.
 
Going to change this up a little: A "not so hated" company that I want to see brought down - Apple. I've been around waaaaay too many apple fanboys.
 
Apple. I hate the reputation they have as the hip computer among young people who idolize them as a "different" kind of corporation when they: a. Offer zero customizability in hardware and software (as opposed to the vast configuration options available on PC); b. Give almost nothing to charity (when comparing Steve Jobs to Bill Gates); c. Include DRM on songs downloaded through iTunes, which overcharges for music, and is required for use with the iPod; d. Use a battery on the iPhone which can only be changed by Apple at a cost of nearly $100.00 to a user; e. Many, many others, such as the iPod being associated with 1 computer to prevent file sharing, or the ridiculous 1 button mice. The thing is, Apple has this reputation as being the hippie computer company when they're anything but. They are anti-competitive, relentless in their pursuit of money, and a complete and utter lie in their public image.

I also hate Wal-Mart.
