Interesting how they continue to blame the pirates, devices, DRM, and everything else they can think of, but never the fact that content is getting spread across more and more services and prices keep going up.

Their greed in chasing profits is fuelling the very problem they’re trying to fight.

The magnitude this is off by is pretty hilarious
