Hollywood Against Jobs' Movie Pricing Plan

Posted by ryuzaki0 on

Alex Romanelli, Variety writes "Hollywood insiders tell Variety why/how Hollywood is in stalemate with Jobs over movie downloads on iTunes. Jobs wants a flat $9.99 per film download, studios are refusing, insisting upon tiered pricing. On the other side there's a different, longer, analytical story looking at how H'wood executives are still unsure if Jobs should be considered a friend or foe."

    I know, we should never criticize Slashdot about grammar.

    Just buy the Elements of Style. 100 pages or so. Buy it. Read it. Know it.
