I don't think so.....
You are right Apple should not be flippant but it should not put itself in a position
where it blanks the studios collective buttocks either. It's a fine line perhaps but
one thing I am certain of Apple does not need NBC and in fact NBC might very well
in the end need Apple more. Take the iPod and the outselling all other
smartphone's in the month of July new iPhone as well as the growing Apple
Macintosh Marketshare what does that all spell out more and more users of Apple
owned entertainment devices. Do you think that because of NBC the iPod and
iPhone sales are going to dry up or is it more likely that the current trend is going
to continue for at least a while longer?

Apple can adjust to anything the content owners choose to do. With simple
firmware and software upgrades make the iPods and iPhones capable of using
what ever format the content providers may choose to put out there for instance.
So Apple is not threatened and NBC does not represent a big money maker to
Apple for in truth NBC got most of every 1.99 purchase. Also the consumer does
speak when purchasing for 1.99 with VOLUME ie Hero's probably sold mre volume
whise than a less populare NBC offering and that is how the consumer speaks.
