Another net music service is coming out, and its from Sony. They said that they want to compete with services such as Apple iTunes.

SOURCE

Sony's music arm said Thursday it plans to launch an online music download service next year to compete against other offerings, like Apple's iTunes, and to combat rampant piracy.

So its coming next spring. It sounds like it'll probably compete with iTMS for Windows, since they come out at the same time.

Isn't it stupid to even bother? I mean, either service will make Sony money, and Sony can't offer music from the other major record companies.

Soooooo much competition for Apple. They need iTMS for Windows to be released in order to get the headstart on the other companies trying to offer the same thing. :(
