Record companies often rip off their artists. It would be nice for artists to market directly using iTunes. Thanks for the post. Record companies often rip off their artists.

Eliminating the "middle men" or the execs might get a better price which goes directly to the right people. Artists work really hard and I think they deserve huge compensation for their huge effort.

I had not thought about the possibility of iTunes signing and distributing artists directly. It makes complete sense and I can see why big music executives would be worried, it cuts them out of the profits. iTunes and Apple in general are increasingly important in the spread of music.

I think it's correct of Apple to see the opportunity in the iPhone leading to more impulse buys from its users. You hear a song on the radio and instead of looking to get it for free you go straight to iTunes and get a legal copy, all while you're out and about.

Do I understand every artist or label or catalog would have their own iphone app? If so I don't see it replacing iTunes any time soon.
