The recording industry wants more
They are winning the battle against sharing, people are paying to download songs legally, and they still want more.
From WIRED, "WASHINGTON -- As iTunes, Rhapsody and other song-download sites take off with consumers, it's easy to think that the record industry finally 'gets it' when it comes to selling music in the digital age.
Not so fast, says Rob Glaser, chairman and chief executive of Real Networks, owner of the Rhapsody service.
At the Future of Music Coalition Policy Summit in Washington, D.C., Glaser recounted his general frustration in getting the record labels to offer creative pricing beyond the 99-cents-per-download model. In fact, some labels -- emboldened by consumers' apparent willingness to pay a buck a song -- are talking about raising per-song fees rather than lowering them to increase volume."
