Is Itunes now too Expensive?


Apples new three tier pricing system went into force yesterday with downloads now costing £0.59, £0.79 or £0.99 per track. Has Itunes committed Suicide by agreeing to the Record Labels demands? With other MP3 sites reducing their costs (Amazon selling Lady Gaga song £0.29) can Apple compete in the Market? At least purchases from Apple are now DRM free? record labels has stated that they believe the price of a song should reflect how much buyers are willing to pay for it, hoping that it will make music sales more profitable? Surely by increasing the price for digital downloads they are encouraging people to illegally download? Let me know your comments.
