Apple is big enough to not have to give in to the greed of the music industry. Those people are crazy. They see something making money, bringing them sales that they wouldn’t have gotten otherwise and they still are not happy.

The current pricing for music download on iTune is perfect. I can’t remember the last time I brought a CD. I actually want the pricing of TV episodes and movies to go lower. I think iTune also supports a lot of independent musicians. Apps Store is great.. iTune is easy to use.. I can only see iTune going forward. Don’t listen to those record labels.. they have no idea what consumers want! magdotcom's last blog post..Steve: Get well soon

I personally think iTunes is a blessing for musicians and record companies in case if they are not aware there are tons of free music download sites out there Saz's last blog post..Virgin Mobile Launches Mobile Broadband - Get Generous 3GB USB Virgin USB Sticks Now!

Impossible. Not making profit means that they aren’t making billions range. They wouldn’t shut this feature down in the near future at least.Just need a competitor and they will said that $.50 is good enough.

There's no way Apple will shutdown the iTunes store, otherwise they would lose a lot of money. Especially with the launch of the App Store. QuickPWN's last blog post..Install Flash Player iPhone App

I am by Apple’s side on this issue. I think that increase absolutely would decrease the Apple’s profit they gain from Itunes.
By the way, I agree with that consumer group in Norway on that we can’t download the songs on other music players

No it will do that. No way. I really don’t believe that Apple will fulfill it. They cannot stop operating with itunes as this service is profitable for it. Christmas Guy's last blog post..We Wish You a Merry Christmas Lyrics

It will be interesting to see what happens with this, will the .99c threshold be broken one day? We will just have to wait and see. I do not see iTunes shutting down anytime soon. With music the way it is today, I think increasing it will just equal less sales. Pete www.geekypete.com Pete's last blog post..Editing Blogger.com Template Part 4: Newsidebar Wrapper

Someone is trying to hold the price line. I think that what Apple is trying to do here is the right strategy. The Norway story is not likely to result in anything significant. Nicole Price's last blog post..Hypermiling

I am with Apple on this one, any increases will make itune look expensive.

Well it’s basic psychology, the $0.99 is actually a dollar but expressed in cents. So any increase made to it will bring the price up to the dollar expression which will sound like a significant increase and consumer purchase will drop due to that. So the $0.99 is just making it sound cheap but with greater monetory value. Smart

I listen to iTunes on my computer at work and at home. I'm so glad to hear that they are here to stay. You had me worried that I would have a heck of a time finding something else to listen to. I hate the radio because of the commercials so when I found iTunes, I was in love. Hattie Hattie Ann's last blog post..I felt so very honored

Moving over the 99p barrier may be a milestone for some but will it really stop the kids buying. I can’t imagine that it would.

More to the point, would there be a knock on for hardware sales (iPods themselves) without iTunes?

In case anyone hasn't heard yet, the copyright royalty board did... absolutely nothing. The rates stay the same, and iTunes is here to stay. SoLinkable's last blog post..The Hot Room - The Daily WTF

I sincerely doubt that Apple will actually do this, they make far to much money to just close for good - Someone should call their bluff! Paid Survey Guy's last blog post..Take Surveys And Get Paid
