If declining numbers of CD's and movie tickets purchased aren't due to piracy, then they are probably due to content company leaders being beaten in the marketplace fair and square. And you know they don't believe that. So thinking the worst of the content companies should make you MORE certain they are motivated by a sincere belief in piracy losses.

More likely they're using piracy as an excuse for their outdated business models. They know they're no longer the gatekeepers, they know they can no longer tell the populace what to listen to or read, and they're trying to find some way to get it back to prolong the inevitable as long as they possibly can.
