"the music industry has started pressuring Apple, arguing for a new pricing scheme where more popular songs would cost more (upwards of $1.50). Steve Jobs has given his answer to what he's called the "greedy" music industry: no way. "We're trying to compete with piracy, we're trying to pull people away from piracy and say, `You can buy these songs legally for a fair price,'" notes Jobs. "But if the price goes up a lot, they'll go back to piracy. Then everybody loses."
His (steve job's) response has made an exec at warner and another label seriously suggest dumping iTunes as a legit way to download music. Then, they had the audacity to suggest that apple give them a cut of all the money made on iPod sales.
FUCKING GREEDY BASTARDS
This news has seriously renewed my hatred of the music industry, why the hell can't you just sit back and let the world change.
