Few days back I told you about the deal which EMI and Apple signed for offering protection free songs and now it is expected that Apple would try and seek advantage from this association for its other deals. The company is expected to enter into deals with music companies for renewing deals for selling songs from their Apple iTunes store catalogue. It is expected to get into similar deals with other companies too.
The deal with EMI has signaled a strong support from the industry so that media from all these companies in DRM free version is available at a high price. On the other hand media companies state that this deal has put them at a disadvantage. Music companies had wanted that Apple should offer them flexible pricing structure on iTunes besides profit sharing from the sales of iPod but this doesn’t seem that it will get through.
