Apple not in music business or music industry

Being in the music business means producing music for distribution. Apple Computer is acting as more of a music store; a distributor of the music produced by the music industry. I personally don't consider some place like Sam Goody or the local record store in the music industry. Do you? And as far as an iPod or speakers or the Ensoniq chip...well those are just hardware for playing music. Onkyo makes hardware for playing music, but would anyone consider them in the music business? They are not. They make audio hardware for recreating the signals that those greedy bastards in the music business/industry put on the overpriced little plastic discs, and little magnetic strips, and big vinyl discs. That is all. This is another obvious attempt of a forgotten company trying to, if nothing else, draw attention to itself and its products.
