iTunes: The 99c Question

An independent labels take on the the $.99 pricing of iTunes. He points out that album pricing is variable, its only pricing for individual tracks that is fixed. By allowing variable pricing for individual tracks music companies are looking mainly to make more money. As the industry is still more maturing he argues that until things like bootleg CD's and the culture of not paying for things has been reduced, forcing Apple to charge more for single track downloads could cause more problems. Its interesting to see his take on the music industry woes and that most of the problems have been caused by CD piracy/bootleg CD's which only require a spare bedroom to create bootleg CD's in.
