Impossible, the internet is killing the entertainment industry due to rampant willy nilly piracy! for any one of these companies to claim they are making money, especially on the internet is simply absurd. good day, I said good day!

"The company remains hopeful that former pirates will shell out money for the convenience of a Spotify (or other service) which offers millions of tracks in decent quality and via your computer and mobile devices."

If that statement is correct, it's just one of many flaws in their business model. Who is the real pirate in this mess anyway? In my opinion it's a company like WB that wants to jam draconian drm laws down our throats and censor the internet to their liking.

Any company that wants to censor and restrict rights to pad their bottom line is the real pirate. If SOPA gets passed we'll really get to see what these big media companies are all about, lets hope it doesn't happen.
