Can you imagine if this logic had been used 10 (or so) years ago.
Record Artist to record label: Oh and by the way I do not want my newest album on this new format... what is it called... VD?.... LSD.... oh yea... CD... what ever it is I do not want anything to hurt my album sales.

iTunes is not the enemy. It is simply another delivery device to get your product to your customers. If someone buys a CD... you get money... if someone buys that same CD from iTunes.... guess what.... you get money. And sense there is no packaging, manufacturing, or shipping cost with iTunes you actually make more money. What do you care if we buy our music from Wal-mart or Best Buy or iTunes?

I bet in a few weeks Island records will release a statement of retraction. Saying it was all a big misunderstanding and what they meant was unlicensed music download sites, and they would be proud and honored to have their music on iTunes.
