And now you know how Apple thinks?
" I'm certain Apple and iTunes would much rather give a larger share dirrectly to the artist than the industry that is currently trying to twist Apple's arm...Apple hates that."

Why would you assume Apple is benevolent that they would want to do what you say? This is the same benevolent Apple that forced manufacturers to pay them for the right to make an aftermarket add on to the IPod with it's 10% "IPod Tax"

This is the same Apple that makes the largest percentage of proffit from it's computers as it knows the Apple community will pay the extra money fors they have nowhere else to go to get a Mac?

So why would you assume Apple will do what's best for the artists? Who said anyone's twisting Apples arm.

Apple does what it has to do to get the most proffit it can from a product or service, just as any other company would.
