NEW YORK, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Warner Music Group Corp. (WMG.N: Quote, Profile, Research) on Tuesday reported its quarterly profit almost doubled thanks to strong sales of digital songs and lower costs, but revenue missed market expectations and its shares fell.

The company, whose artists include Madonna, Green Day and Sean Paul, said fiscal first-quarter revenue fell 4 percent to $1.04 billion. Analysts surveyed by Reuters Estimates had forecast revenue of $1.09 billion.

Kind of reminds of the oil companies, blame it something but still make huge profits.
