Re: Huh?
The problem is the royalties are just way too high.
The RIAA thinks they deserve a dollar per each copy, no matter what format, and no matter who provides the service.
What a ripoff, pure greed.
There's no doubt the main obstacle to easy to use digital music downloads for reasonable prices is the RIAA itself--- who, after all, want to protect their stranglehold on the distribution system. They aren't really interested in seeing services like iTunes survive. They want control over all themselves--- and the ability to price-fix anything.
