Steve Jobs said they’re “greedy,” Warner Music Group CEO Edgar Bronfman has his own thoughts on Apple and now Microsoft said no to a subscription service because they don’t want to pay the labels’ price tag.
If prices are too high, consumers may go back to stealing/illegal downloading, which could hurt the record industry (though I doubt they’re hurting much, some CEO may not get a new Learjet for the Holidays). If prices stay the same, the record companies are going to incestantly complain and possibly withhold music from online retailers. Seems to me that the consumer is hurt either way, thanks for leaving us out of the equation.
