Re: Apple is a control freak - I'd be careful dealing with them too

Actually the RIAA can bite Apple back in the ass. They can decide to remove content from Apple and create their own system. Or go to another vendor- Amazon, or now even WM's digital download store. But WM does the same as Apple. I'm surprised Walmart hasn't issued a merger with them yet.

Apple and Amazon both have more power than the RIAA. yes the RIAA can make lables pull from iTunes but no label will as long as Apple has the market share it does in the devices that link to iTunes. Cut those users off and they will just go to piracy.

Apple and Amazon have nothing. You don't think the digital MP3 service WM is cooking up and always working on isn't going to damage both Amazon and iTunes???? They will under cut those two companies and do it just fine as they do with everyone else in terms of products. They purchase everything including physical cds for pennies on the dollar.
