Reaktion auf Jobs "Gier"-Vorwurf an die Label

MTV News berichtet über die Reaktion auf Jobs "Gier"-Vorwurf an die Label. "Speaking on condition of anonymity, one label executive said Jobs' desire to keep pricing at 99 cents had a very simple explanation: "It helps him sell iPods. When he started iTunes, he broke through that psychological barrier that consumers had and made a lot of dough doing it, but it seems like he has a monopoly and he's become the Wal-Mart of the Internet, and he wants to retain that monopoly."[...] "Music is art; it's not a commodity," the source said. "Things that are more relevant command more money. The idea of saying it should all be 99 cents is absurd. Variable pricing is the norm in the music business and every business — even the iPod business."
