I have always been pretty honest with my belief that the record execs do not have the public’s best interests at heart. We have seen their true colors through the recent payola scandals and their squabbles over the 99 cent price point for the iTunes music store.

Not much here, just keeping busy. I live in Arlington, VA now and work in DC as a political (and sometimes marketing) consultant. I'm married, but I think you knew that. I agree, we're probably both right about Jobs. I just like interjecting into Pro-Apple conversations. I'm a glutton for punishment, what can I say. Hey man. Not much here, just keeping busy.

How are things? What are you up to? I think we're both right. Of course jacking with the cost of online music will drive down sales. I think that it will also turn people away from not just online music but sales all across the board will go down for a while. It is the equivalant to the hockey lock-out or baseball strikes. Fans will be upset for a while. There will be hurt feels between the music execs, Jobs, and consumers. After a while though, everyone will live like the fickle residents of Springfield and re-elect Mayor Quiby for a third term. Prices will level out and our children will be none the wiser. Proctor!!!

Long time. Not to be Mr. Killjoy or anything, but I am more apt to believe that Jobs is upset because he believes sales will suffer at a higher price. 99 cents is still a good profit margin for iTunes and Jobs' net worth is higher than ever. Now that articles like this have made him out to be the voice of the masses, few will believe that he could actually just be covering his own rear end. Just my thoughts. Hey man. Long time.

Let's also keep in mind music studios already make more profit on downloads than CDs. Let's hope Steve holds strong to price inflation...or to a subscription service.
