NBC to Apple: 'You're fired!'

Bill Weinman

same old disagreement as Universal Music Group

I don't understand why no one saw this coming. UMG & Apple have been having this same disagreement for months. NBC is part of Universal.

I'm still hopeful they'll work it out -- I'd hate to loose Battlestar Galactica.

Oh -- and you don't get it, that's fine, but bashing iTunes as overpriced misses the point -- I use it INSTEAD of cable and it saves me money -- I subscribe to a handfull of shows that I want to see each season and it costs me less than a cable subscription and I can watch these shows at home on my big-screen TV if I want to, or sitting on an airplane, or a bus, or wherever on my laptop or other portable device. It's more flexible and LESS expensive than cable. What's so hard to understand about that?
