Microsoft pays music studios $$ for each zune sold

[Champkat]

I just read on PC World (can't open it again) that Microsoft is paying the music studios for each zune sold. Then Microsoft is paying the music studio for each song sold on it's marketplace. I find this distasteful even if it is legal. Several reasons for their decision to do this. One of which is to drive a bigger widge between Apple and the music studios and make the Zune the top player. It is a wise business decision for Microsoft but I find the music studios are getting way to greedy. And believe me, the consumers won't get a discount.

EMUSIC all the way. Not even sure I want to purchase CDs from big name studios.

I did manage to find this article. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/09/te...Vg&oref=slogin
