iTunes 7.4.3 released.
This iTunes update tackles issues with people still enjoying their iPhones.
Apples says this new release will charge you $0.99 not only for a custom ringtone, but will charge an extra $0.99 when ever a phone call is received when using that ringtone.
Actually, I am an artist on iTunes Music Store and I make 70 cents per song, but not when so many people are peer sharing [my songs] for free. It may not be a big deal to the superstars making millions, but this is part of my bread and butter; it's how I live, and it does hurt when I see that my albums/songs are being ripped more than they are being bought.
Steve Jobs said:We don't believe it's possible to protect digital content...What's new is this amazingly efficient distribution system for stolen property called the Internet -- and no one's gonna shut down the Internet. And it only takes one stolen copy to be on the Internet. And the way we expressed it to them is: Pick one lock -- open every door. It only takes one person to pick a lock. Worst case: Somebody just takes the analog outputs of their CD player and rerecords it -- puts it on the Internet. You'll never stop that. So what you have to do is compete with it."
Code is code. If that were the case why did Jobs state that they did move OS people over to the iPhone, in writing the OS for the device as well as the accompanying software to run it on the machine (iTunes)?
Applications or OS, it's all the same when it comes to programming languages and types. Most programmers can easily move from one to the other.
That is a very naive statement and shows that you lack knowledge of the current state of the music business. There is no money in playing live, bands regularly loose money (unless you are a mega group). The only reason they play live is because they love it, want to connect with the fans, and hope to sell a few songs to them, either on cd or downloads. Not have them stolen by their fans. They have agents and record labels stealing enough. Give them a break. People who steal music are worse than the record labels.Ummm.. I guess you're too young or naive, but do you not play live?
The record industry is only 100 years old, iTunes 6 years old. How did artists make money for thousands of years before recorded music? By playing live.
It may hurt your feelings that people rip your stuff but you need to go back to basics if recorded music is part of what you depend on to make money. Sorry.
In the words of Steve Jobs...
Compete with it. Play live.

I think this has a lot to do with iPhone in the UK. People here are very used to making their own ringtones... I wonder how they'll react when everyone is supposed to have the same one.![]()
Without paying or consent. Gee, what's wrong there...Stealing music is a phrase invented by music industry.
Sharing music and enjoy them without paying or consent of the artist is the actual words.
Nonsense. Stealing is an act committed by a person, not a crime suffered by a victim.Music is something cannot be stolen.
That's because I don't think john lennon would like to have his songs exploited on cell phones and other various devices.
Without paying or consent. Gee, what's wrong there...
They have the natural and legal right to create something and sell it under terms and restrictions they decide--you have no natural right to the labor of others and aren't being forced into the agreement by anyone or any specific need. If they say "we'll offer this download for $1" and those terms are recognized as legal, they are legitimately and legally owed $1 for each and every download. If 50,000 people download without paying, they are owed $50,000. It doesn't matter whether the supply is greater than the maximum possible demand.
Nonsense. Stealing is an act committed by a person, not a crime suffered by a victim.
Taking something that isn't yours to take is stealing. That's the long and the short of it.
You can throw out any arguments you like: that it's not immoral, that you wouldn't have paid for it regardless to they're not "really" losing money, that the labels are mean and they deserve it, or what have you. But own up to the decision: it isn't yours, it's being offered for certain terms, and you're refusing to accept those terms and taking it anyway. That's stealing. Saying otherwise might help you sleep at night, but it doesn't change a thing.
... In the end, the world turns.![]()
Wow man, thats not just wrong, but WAY wrong! You must not read the end of year articles stating what bands made for touring....60-70 million isn't very far off these days for larger bands such ass Rolling Stones or hell even Nsync made 75 million one year.
