Apple is going to close iTunes online store
Apple said that they are ready to close the iTunes online store. The reason is: raise of commisions to be paid to musicians from 9 to 15 cents. Decision will be applied at Copyright Royalty Board (CRB).
Manager of iTunes store has declared that he is ready to close iTunes rather break the price for the song of 99 cents. 70 cents of this price get back to labeles, 9,1 goes to musicians and 29 cents belong to the Apple. Such commercial politics allowed Apple to sell more than 160 million copies of iPod.
