Thread: iTunes anti-trust probe

Apparently Apple has been getting pissed about Amazon's promotion lately and starting to pressure labels to stop working with Amazon (one I heard on t.v. was they were going to not promote label albums unless they dealt exclusively with Apple).

Read the article, and thoughts?

Apple has always, always pushed, for DRM. Anti-proprietary (unless their own). They have a palm hold on industry and too many players have dicked them in the face. Apple is done. Sorry this is not a fan boy thing. I have watched them find their niche well over and over.. But just recently they found a multi-market competitor. Droid, Sansa, Win7 -- they are once again little boys in a big market. Their only savior ever has been hippies, schools, and mobile. And that era is OVER. (Granted great crash boxes for open source)

Sony, MS, Google, and a multitude of other industries simply crush their crybaby 'liberal' approach.


And hell yes dancing. CD's go with a stream of high data-rate lossless deployment of media. Granted you express this completely wrong. As Compact Discs are one of the first compact medias to use digital format. The difference is, they are commonly, at least in old times, fed with analog audio. Well developed methods of wave-form to digital format, plus readers that utilize RS-codeword CRC + no compression = superior quality.

Just remember you are listening to a format that is about 20 years old and made by the best. (put in mass by the media king Sony)
