I'm afraid you are right Sam.

It's things like this that will ruin the trust in Wikipedia.

People will start wondering if what they are reading is accurate and perhaps ultimately Wiki will outlive itself, unless of course they do something about it.

Unfortunately, I think this type of behavior from companies will become more and more prominent. With wikipedia becoming the de-facto repository of information on the internet, companies can't really afford to have negative information in their articles...
