You may or may not have already read this.
Even the industry hates the industry.

Itunes wants a flat rate , but the RIAA wants multiple rates , they
want to charge more for music they are currently illegally buying
airtime for.

One analyst said that prices are already artificially raised because of
fees iTunes and other downloading services must pay to the recording
industry.

Steve Jobs took a pointed shot at record labels, calling them "greedy"
and vowing to hold steady on 99 cent downloads despite pressure to bump
up prices.

One analyst said that prices are already artificially raised because of
fees iTunes and other downloading services must pay to the recording
industry.

"Currently, I would argue that prices for digital downloads are already
too high because of the fees demanded by record labels," Mark Mulligan,
research director at Jupiter Media, told MacNewsWorld in an email.
