You actually BELIEVE that?
First of all - they're not losing sales from last year - the issue is that their sales didn't GROW as much as they projected they should!
Second, hasn't anyone heard about the recession?
Third, they've been raising prices every year, and this year and last were no exceptions. Average price $18 on a disk that costs them less than .50c to produce. Who's getting fucked here? Hint: It's not the record companies.
