To call a person or a company criminal is a dangerous thing, it implies illegal acts, breaking the law etc. I am just pointing out that in this current environment, that good old legal company, Sue, Sue & Grabbit could be sharpening the knife. I am not supporting any recording or distributing company. As far as itunes, UMG or whatever, they probably all suck. Ken |

Ken iTunes music store itself doesn't suck, people on this forum seem to have more of an issue because the Windows version of the software is bigger than the Mac version and because it comes from Apple . UMG's problem with Apple is that unlike the kiss a** types at Microsoft who don't have any market share or bargaining leverage, Apple is not going to give in to UMG's requests of a greater bite$$ of the individual song download revenue from the . 99c or $1 . 27 (??) US price of each song that Apple sells . Apple is the 3rd biggest music retailer in the US and the biggest online music retailer (the illegal download sites are bigger) . This gives Apple bargaining power over the greedy music companies who are suffering from lack of CD sales and loss of revenue which they don't like . |
