Record Labels Unveil Greed 2.0

Posted by Zonk on from the pac-man-like-action dept.

theodp writes "Unsatisfied with $2.49 ringtones and as much as 70 cents of each 99 cent iTunes download, Newsweek reports that record labels want a bigger cut of digital music profits. One example: If you type in 'Madonna' - a Warner act - at the Google Video site, and the results are accompanied by ads, Warner wants a share of those ad dollars." Even more ridiculous demands than those put forth in previous stories.

  1. And you expected?... by Duncan3 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Considering the schoool system, and the media, how would you expect the American consumer to be anything but midless sheep?

    If it wasn't for all those mindless sheep buying tons of things they didn't need, the entire world economy would collapse, that's just a fact. Poeple don't need that much really, and most of that is automated.

    So thank your local sheep, thanks to them YOU have a job.
