@cfdfjkjsghfkjdkj Apple wanted to have this music on the stores, but the artists and/or record companies didn’t want it, and Apple didn’t want to have to deal with legal issues.
@cfdfjkjsghfkjdkj Legal problems, that’s the reason.
i just love this guy
thumbs up if you agree with me
if itunes would have THE BEATLES,AC/DC and other artists that they don’t have now,people wouldn’t have to illegally download the songs.DID ITUNES EVER THINK OF THAT???
@theblue64
then you can’t afford anything
@kingvarna13 why? it obviously spreads malware and doesn’t work for iNerd.
I can’t afford to spend $0.99 a song.
This is definitely one of the defining moments of the 2000s, in music and technology.
@inerd40593 NO IT DOES NOT
oh shut up
shitty quality
ovi sucks
you think the artists gets the ten bucks you buy a cd for? they get less than 10 percent, itunes pays them more than anyone ever has before.
and what are you blabbing about youtube? who is stealing youtube? idiot
wow, back then it was that hard to get a song?
@johnmonk66 i buy cds and even vinyl.. point of the matter is that it’s a shitty system that doesn’t allow musicians to grow if i knew that when i buy music on itunes that most of my money would go to support the artist i would use it but that would be a world gone tipsy toppy and btw what are you doing on youtube almost everything on youtube has copyright on it…
you are full of shit, you ar stealing music
so because artists get ripped off, your answer is to peer to peer music so they get nothing at all, nice logic thief
Why should you buy anything when you can steal it?
iTunes is just a shiny new facade for the ugly, exploitative system that has managed music for the past 50 years. Thanks to peer to peer filesharing, we finally have a chance to break the major record label system– but every iTunes user who pays 90 cents on the dollar to middlemen props up the old regime and delays the day when corporations finally lose their stranglehold on music. Now that’s something to feel guilty about.
Apple gets 3 times as much money as musicians from each sale. Apple takes a 35% cut from every song and every album sold, a huge amount considering how little they have to do. Record labels receive the other 65% of each sale. Of this, major label artists will end up with only 8 to 14 cents per song, depending on their contract. Many of them will never even see this paltry share because they have to pay for producers and recording costs. Artists Get Ripped Off follks
Rhapsody is better. Why? Because I know some artist that are extremely hard to find and can’t find them in music store or iTunes but there they are waiting for my music hungry ears in Rhapsody. iPod Touch all the way!
I actually like the idea of iTunes music store just because its just 99 cents per song unlike other services… and I do not like the idea of stealing either but I only wish they had music store in India so I could buy my songs…
because that is illegal.
first off i dont care about bad karma and the artist that i listen cant make new music anyway cos his dead
-> bad karma – plus: how can the artist you love to listen to continue to make their great music, when they are not for it?
