Record Labels Push for iTunes Price Hike

Posted by michael on from the cash-cow dept.

csteinle writes "Looks like the major labels are getting their own way again. The New York Post reports that the price per track may be going up to $1.25, while the per album price for some albums could go as high as $16.99. The Register has its own take on this, too. Aren't you glad you starting paying for downloaded music?" Update: 05/07 19:15 GMT by M : Apple says their prices won't increase.

    It's like the NBA - a big marketing scheme where the underlying product does not have the appeal nor the value their pushers would like us to assign...

    What - you mean people don't enjoy watching professional basketball? What can be more appealing than 120 meaningless regular season games with no defense, 80% of the league making the playoffs, and players with little self controL?

    The problem is that the word "irregardless" breaks all rules about word construction in the English language.

    But you understood what was being said, yes?

    This isn't an English forum.

    Bend over and smile. Apple's "master" has spoken and you WILL pay them their "just" due! Next up: The RIAA will automatically withdraw money from your bank account everytime you sing a tune in your HEAD! The sub-dermal application will be called "im0WNEDBYTHER1AA".
