Well I know they're not complaining about selling things for a lower
price , nobody believes they are fighting itunes for lower prices.

The recording industry sells the music wholesale and it's the retailers
who decide how to price it. So, if the recording industry is upset with
how Steve Jobs is pricing music, then they should charge him more and
let him make the decision. They should have no say in the final
consumer price.
