Record Exec: We want our iPod money

Question: Apple's [somewhat] banned from becoming a record company, but what about Pixar??

Greedy Bumpkins! They should be ashamed of themselves they already get quite a bit from the downloads and they don't have to package anything what a bunch of greedy nincompoops...

This is the last straw. I'm writing the record labels and telling them what I think of them... and writing Apple a thank you note. It's about time someone said NO to people who aren't used to hearing it. I know I'm only one person, but writing MTV about Live 8 worked :)

Ok, now that's greedy. The JoT already picked it up, though (http://www.geekculture.com/joyoftech/index.html).

I'm telling ya, we need a picture of Steve Jobs flipping off the Warner Group Logo! RHYTHMIC CLAPPING - that's too funny, KT! I remember not long ago when Bruce Springstien had his minions invading all the karaoke bars in Pittsburgh, trying to get all the people who were singing Sprinstien songs to pay royalties. Man of the people - right. People like Springstien and Bronfman should take their heads out of their asses and take a good look at reality. Self-important ingrates!

Scumbag. Did the record companies charge Sony for every CD player they sold? Are they expecting Creative and every other digital music player to cough it up as well? Edgar Bronfman is good at one thing: running companies into the ground. This is laughable.

Actually, only Paul and Ringo are not, but I love Abbey Road too:) You don't hear Chevron and Shell asking for some money on automobile sales because gas prices are not what they'd like? Warner Music Group can eat it -- and I hope they do. They've spent so much time screwing their clientele, we have no loyalty at all to them. Apple, pick up the independents and run with it.

The labels are just pissed they didn't come up with a successful product (music downloads). They are pissed and are whining like little kids. Not only that, they fear their artists will actually have to make GOOD albums instead of just 1 or 2 good tracks on an otherwise crappy album.

Ask John, Paul, George and Ringo? come on now, everyone knows Paul is dead.

Hmm.. so they'll want a piece of ever musical instrument after they get the iPod, ey? Well, they can take my violin and viola out of my cold dead hands. WHAT WILL THIS DO FOR RHYTHMIC CLAPPING!? Record Company: Um, Ma'am, you just clapped a rhythm that we own. That'll be $300 Clapper: WTF?
