Remember how online music stores were going to route around the music industry? The pigopolists have barely got their feet under the table and already demanding more. The Wall Street Journal reports that the major five labels think that 99 cents per song is too cheap, and are discussing a price hike that would increase the tariff to $1.25 up to $2.99 per song.
The current tariff is too much for most people, as saggy sales indicate. "99 cents a song is a pricing model designed to protect CD sales, and not one designed to move people into a new digital music marketplace," senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation Fred Lohmann told us recently. "If an iPod has room for 4,000, does Apple think people are getting to spend $4,000 filling it with music?" |

I actually think 99c is expensive, since they are selling compressed music at the same price a CD costs, but the apple music store has had a lot of success, so i guess they want more piece of that pie.

I'm not surprised at all. People are greedy. when things start working our they always figure that maybe it can work out even better if we raise the price alittle more. And they ask why people download things...
