When you spread your hands wide and far, you’ll have antitrust cases against you waiting to be defended! That’s the game with Music Industry’s game changer, Apple.
In 2001, they introduced iTunes which was to sell and organize music on your Mac. Now it’s spread all over to PC’s and has most of the worlds music labels signed on to sell creations of all artists for a price of $0.99 a song. It’s hell lot of change from those walkmans to the iPods and iPhones. Wow, hats off Apple.
Now, the bad part. Perhaps Apple has been spread it’s wing far and wide, too wide. It holds abot 26.7% of the music market share which makes it the biggest music vendor online and offline too, in terms of sales figures. But recently, Apple has been playing the role of the culprit.
Amazon was working with labels to gain exclusive rights for selling music a day before they would release all over. This didn’t make Apple happy, and they decided to warn labels that if they did something like that they would penalized by Apple. It would cease all it’s marketing campaigns for the songs belonging to the label on iTunes.
With Antitrust regulators jumping on board, clearly cards aren’t going right for Apple.
Nice 1 indeed. Need more facts and evidence to substantiate your article and claim.
