'Wasting much of their time' though would likely result is someone justifying his/her job by going along with it. Much the same with HMRC (UK tax authority) there is no matter too trivial that they are not willing to spend limitless amounts of time and energy investigating - purely because they can.
I believe the goons are underpaid and make the bulk of their money through commissions (which also encourages their shitty - and potentially fraudulent & unlawful behavior), thus wasting a lot of their time without taking out a license in the end will make a loss for them.
