I couldn't care less. I don't buy from iTunes. As Apple says "The iTunes Store exists to sell hardware." I love it's simplicity, but I refuse to be tied to hardware 10 years out.

Also the greedy CRB can go sh** on a brick, for all I care.

@insideoutbox: Yup! Fuck a publishing company. Seriously. And fuck a label, too, for that matter. Keep your masters. Keep your publishing.

those 9 cents are not going to the "artists and writers" they are going to the "publishers" and their inflated overhead. same with the 75 cents that go to the labels.

the solution is not to pay publishers and labels more money, it's for artists to be independent or start working with independent publishers and labels who are interested in getting work done and making a living rather than paying themselves bonuses on the premise that they're "getting more for the artists"

Get rid of these 9 cent numbers meant to screw the artist and writers since the industry started, and pay 50% to the artists and writers. I think that’s fair. The other 50% can go to whoever for whatever. Fuck the RIAA also.
