1 edit | And that isn't greedy HOW?
The music industry doesn't make players, they make music (and I have to use that term loosely). Apple makes the players. Why would the RIAA be entitled to so much as a cent of the revenue from the sale of the player?
And even if you substitute "iTunes" for "iPods" then they already see 90% if not more of the revenue. 90 cents of every 99 cent sale. And how much of it do the artists see? 1 cent? If even that?
Not greedy, indeed... |

Re: Bronfman Functionally (or Literally) Retarded
I thought that might be the case, but if you plug in iTunes for iPod, it doesn't make any sense: "We are selling our songs through iTunes, but we don’t have a share of iTune's revenue"
Because they enjoy the majority of iTunes revenue. Most of it in fact. |

Maybe the oil companies raised the price of gas because they were not getting any revenue from the sale of vehicles. It also explains why my Time Warner cable bill is so freaking high, they weren't getting any money from the sale of TVs! |

1 edit | We're not greedy, we just want more money...
Another profound statement by the music industry....Well, what kind of term should be used to describe this motive? Greed seems pretty logical to me.
How can the music industry survive with their people/industry having this mentality!
It is beyond rational thinking.
How can the **AA's shoot themselves so many times and survive?

Re: What's next?
haha, and should this mean that they (music biz) get a cut of every cd-player? Every vcr? Every tape player?
This is so silly. If they're pestering Steve, have they also "pressured" the other online retailers? Heck, Rhapsody only charges $.89/song $.79/burn. I'm guessing Napster has a similar deal. Do all those "play (not) for sure" devices need additional fees too?

Re: What's next?
Ha Ha!! This guy is seriously retarded... They ONLY get a miniscule NINETY CENTS PER DOLLAR off of each song! He only wants everyone to assume the position and just take it.......
They wont stop their tyranny until they can make every song on public radio stations pay-per-listen, they are just waiting for the technology. In fact, I bet you they are trying to develop the tech as we speak.... |

Not yet. That will eventually be their suggestion as sort of a piracy tax, I'm sure. |

Not that I agree with the RIAA, but the logic is that iPods would not be nearly as popular without the products put out by the RIAA.
