Huh! Now, that’s what you get for fighting against Apple. What a very calm and cool way of getting even. Way to go, Apple. As always your business strategies always impress me.

There must be some reason that NBC sees fit to trump up the cost of each episode by $3.00. I don’t know what it is – but maybe these series’ are costing them more than they can sell it for. I mean, I know that there’s a lot of video piracy going on with these videos and series’ as well. Lost and Heroes are most people’s favourite around here, and I know that a lot of people pirate them. One guy downloads – the rest copy. iTunes, though, has certainly made the right decision here and NBC should rather look for another digital download provider if that’s the price they want charged. iTunes also do suffer in sales if they don’t have these popular shows available for donwload.

Oh no! This is exactly what happens when corporations get greedy. And just who is the one that suffers? That’s right! We do. It’s a real shame when the people have to pay for another person’s mistake.

Doesn’t NBC realize that they already get my money twice for the same content since I (stupidly) pay for both an iTunes subscription for Battlestar Galactica AND buy the box set when it comes out? Yeah, I love me some BSG, but 4.99 per episode is nuts! That being said, here’s hoping they can come to a new agreement before January.

All of these negotiation tactics are cute but seriously… this needs to be patched up by the start of the fall season. I want to be able to download episodes of the new seasons of Heroes.

NBC can’t possibly hold the position they are. They have to give into whatever Apple wants otherwise they’d be cutting off their right arm. They’d be losing out on some serious money.
