So the Internet was an opportunity for everyone to be treated fairly, for the consumer to get a fair price, for the artist to be paid fairly, for the record companies to make some money.”<br /><br />Rock said it "isn’t exactly working."<br /><br />“It’s based on an old system where iTunes takes the money, the record company takes the money, and they don’t give it to the artists,” he says.<br /><br />He says he may change his mind about the music behemoth but not any time soon.<br /><br />“I will be on iTunes eventually, because I can’t avoid it, but I like to always stick to my guns and prove a point and do something original…because I believe in it.”<br /><br />#############<br /><br />So my question would be, can you start at $2.99 and if the sales are terrible...then change to $0.99? Also is there any data on sales at the two different prices?Anna Guess Pickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312345846201371477noreply@blogger.com
