ITUNES PRICES GO UP!

Azcap and BMI, the two main groups that represent and collect fees for song writer composers and music publishers, are trying to collect more money from itunes. More money for them means less in your pocket. Both groups might ask apple to pay a fee every time a customer plays a 30 second preview of a song. They also want to charge a fee for music used in downloaded tv shows. Many people in the industry suspect that this could cause a dramatic price increase through out all of itunes. Sorry all itunes users lets hope the price increase doesn't happen : / but don't worry ill keep you guys posted if I here any more on the topic.
