I dont care what any of you say. Maybe the reason iTunes has become sooo popular is cuz they have finally put buying music in an easy, efficient, and cheap format. I happen to a big fan of iTunes and Apple. It sucks cuz I love NBC shows and now i cant get them for my iPod just because some corporate fat cats dont feel like they are getting enough money. I mean, I know its hard. They all have yachts and mansions to pay for. But as a result i dont get to watch my shows if I miss them unless I want to sit at my laptop and watch them in the TERRIBLE, COMMERCIAL-WRIDDEN, format on the stupid NBC site. This is dumb. Really dumb.

I am sure more content producers will go down this route. Apple does have a monopolistic position in the online media commerce, which is not conducive to these media entities.

Also this will allow alternative business models and may make content cheaper for us consumers. Universal did the same with Google and gBox.
