Critics say Apple's proprietary technology and its refusal to offer more ways to buy or to stray from its rigid 99 cents a song model is dampening legal sales of digital tunes - full article

So now begins the complaining about legal downloads. The first part of that tidbit is correct but the part about rigid 99 cents dampening sales is ludicrous. Somehow allowing variable pricing and selling some songs at a higher price is going to drive sales. Hardly, it will just drive up profits when sales start getting crappy. How whoever wrote this article tried to sneak that one by is garbage. I don't pay fo downloads anyway. The DRM makes them a huge rip-off compared to CDs. Except maybe Sony CDs, then they are equal rip-offs.
