NBC Chief Slamming Apple

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.

Not rape, pimping.

Prostitution can exist without women being abducted and turned into heroine/crack slaves, but while prostitution is illegal that's unlikely.

The apple mentality is just the same. I think its funny that every time someone disparages them all the cool aid drinkers line up to defend them. Just like back in the day with another monopolist that every defended till he became more powerful than the government. Lets face it all the "big boys" from that era are greedy scumbags and given the opportunity they will take everything and provide nothing. Ie apples spiffy new intel line running a bsd derivative...

Isn't NBC a weapon of mass destruction?
