Attorney General Investigates Music Price Fixing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the when-you-get-done-there-go-talk-to-the-oil-companies dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Guardian is reporting that the US Attorney General has launched an investigation into whether or not record labels are engaged in price fixing of music downloads. From the article: 'The department of justice inquiry centers on the activities of the four largest record labels: EMI, Sony BMG, Universal and Warner Music. Subpoenas are believed to have been issued to all parties, with federal officials understood to be focusing on whether the companies have been colluding to keep the price of downloads artificially high.'"

    I don't know what you're talking about. Usually if I make an intentional troll and call it such, I just end up modded as flaimbait or redundant.

    Since Slashdot's editors obviously don't care anymore, why not visit Digg and check out the new AJAX threaded comment system? You can actually rate comments in real-time, set friend flags, and more. At Digg, if a story is a dupe, the users rate it as such, and it gets removed automatically. You can even rate articles as inaccurate. Slashdot is the biggest piece of abandonware on the Internet, so why don't we all go to Digg and set up camp at the new epicenter for geek news on the net?
