I figured if I actually planned on trying to get them in trouble, I assumed I'd be able to find someone who would be able to do something about it.

It's not that the pop stars were really dragged down by the DJs playing their music for free, it's just the principle of the whole situation. Professional DJ companies that play the same kind music at weddings and such are often very strict about using only licensed (i.e. they paid for the recordings) mixes or compilations for this very reason - they could land in serious hot water if someone filed suit against them for playing stolen music. And I think the kids who do the high school dances should be held to the same standard.
