Apple Threatens iTunes Shutdown in Royalty Dispute
From Wired:
Apple has threatened to shut down iTunes if an obscure three-person board appointed by the Librarian of Congress increase the royalties paid to publishers and songwriters by six cents. The Copyright Royalty Board votes on the industry request on Thursday.
I seriously doubt Apple would actually go this far. It would seriously piss off a huge percentage of their customers. Still, it’s another reason why DRM is a Bad bad bad idea.
