Edgar Bronfman Jr.

After having just read this, I believe Edger Bronfman Jr. is certifiably stark raving mad!

Mr. Bronfman thinks not all music is created equal, and I'd have to agree, more or less. But he thinks songs should be priced according to popularity. Hmm, that sort of implies that music quality has a direct correlation with music popularity. That doesn't make sense, at all! This means, at least according to Mr. Bronfman, the Spice Girls actually were any good.

Mr. Bronfman also said the music industry shouldn't have to use it's content to promote MP3 players. Unless Mr. Jobs is actually blackmailing the Warner Music Group, they simply don't have to. Ofcourse if they deny Apple to distribute it's music, Warner would mis out on (too much to ignore) profit.

Mr. Bronfman had the brilliant idea that Apple should share the profits of it's ipod sales with the Warner Music Group. But why? Why should the Warner Music Group get any money for doing nothing? Apple promotes Warner's music. Does Warner promote the ipod? Apple has a web shop to run, and that entails costs & risks. It should be Apple who reaps the benefits in the end, not Warner. The Warner Music Group is supplying the content, and is getting paid for it.

It's weird to see what greed can do to one's ability to reason in a logical fashion!
