Note that those % numbers don't convert into sales or profits. Those are just the biggest numbers found to defend DRM. (Similarly how being able to share a BluRay with your family doesn't lose the content industry N sales of discs.) This issue is a lot more nuanced than reading some skewed stats and declaring that it's a problem. The core issue is that this is a hugely emotional issue - the content industry (and artists of course) are constantly playing the "oh poor us, everyone is stealing, those criminals!" note to make pirates look bad... while in the same sentence establishing outright abusive DRM practices and trying to extract maximum money of every single shmuck that actually bought their content legally. DRM has a massive negative effect on legitimate consumers - instead of quoting "90% piracy that", instead think about just how much of that piracy ACTUALLY hurts anyone and how much the attempt to fight it ACTUALLY hurts people who legitimately pay for their content and hardware.
