He's just playing the same tired B-school games that landed him the opportunity to try and ride the tiger no one has yet wrapped their head around. He should listen to Randy Neuman, short-sighted people got no reason... I agree with Tasha, and I think it's part of the reason that digital online music sales growth stinks... it's cuz thinking people know better than executives what has value and what doesn't. I'm not paying for anything less than an actual copy, and online subscriptions will always suck if we're forced to listen to someone else selects and that's limited to the music made available through behind the scenes contractual agreements, none of which place any importance whatever on the buyer/customer/consumer, the human who gets the bill. Make your little contracts and eat your little pie. But don't forget to scrutinize the sad demise, the killing of EMI. Warner CEO Edgar Bronfman Jr is a dynamo-sour!

People want to own their music. They don't want to rent it and possibly lose it when the licensing changes. There hasn’t been a single successful music stores that Rent music.

Let's see: Industry wide sales grew by 5% in the December quarter. Warner's sales grew by 8%. Why wouldn't Warner be happy? Sure, sales growth was lower compared to the previous year, but that was true of the entire industry. The only comparison we can make is that for the one period that we have both Warner figures and industry figures, Warner was ahead. Maybe you should get someone to explain the math to you.

Might have been 79p in the UK though. ;-) Actually in the US iTunes music was originally consistently priced at 99 cents a track. Might have been 79p in the UK though. ;-)
