Screaming Penguin

Recently Steve Jobs called the recording industry greedy, and he was right on (especially with the combating piracy argument, make songs CHEAPER, less piracy, we have a winner!) - and now Warner Music CEO Edward Bronfman Jr. has fired back saying variable pricing is a must and that prices, while variable, should never be lower than $0.99. (Variable as long as its higher, that kind of variable you see.) Now if the record industry did not have a long history of screwing artists and customers, with scams like payola, complicated as hell compensation models for artists where record companies control the numbers and PRICE FIXING, maybe we could take them seriously. Yet at this point this is just ludicrous. Bronfman was a chief actor in the previous price fixing collusion and now he calls for "variable" pricing on iTunes. Jackass. The entire record industry is screwed because they still DONT GET IT.
