NBC Chief Slamming Apple

Posted by kdawson on from the catch-more-flies-with-honey dept.

On the heels of the beta of NBC's and News Corp.'s less-than-killer Hulu music store, NBC's chief Jeff Zucker is speaking out and saying the darnedest things. First, news.com reports, with derision, that Zucker demanded a cut of Apple's iPod revenue. That'll sure happen. Next, AppleInsider caught Zucker urging colleagues to take a stand against Apple's iTunes, charging that the digital download service was undermining the ability of traditional media companies to set profitable rates for their content online.

  1. Hey Fanboi, doesnt Apple get a cut from ATT? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I know that Apple fanbois cant think clearly with an iPod stuck in their ass and their head in Jobs own butt but Apple gets a cut from the ATT pie with their iphone deal. Verizon supposedly said no to Apple for that very reason. I see no difference.
    Does Apple deserve that money? As much as NBC would deserve Apple's.
    But if someone asks you for something stupid and you accept, then that is your problem.

    Of course, since its Apple fleecing ATT, buttmunchers like you dont mind. When someone dares to suggest the exact same thing but the other way around, then turd brains like you get insulted.
