Lu dans le billboard qui parlait du concert spécial pour le méga lancement du Zune aux States avec les Red hot chili Peepers et Queens of stone Age..au terme de ce billet qui parle de l'accord Universal/Microsoft, Le Ceo d'Universal Doug Morris (le pascal Nègres Américain) déclare:
Yesterday, Microsoft agreed to share revenue from Zune sales with record labels and artists. Forcing the issue was Universal Music Group, which at deadline is the only label named in the program. UMG refused to license its music to the Zune unless it could receive a percentage of each device sold, in addition to standard music licensing fees for downloads and subscriptions.
"These devices are just repositories for stolen music, and they all know it," UMG chairman/CEO Doug Morris says. "So it's time to get paid for it."
Apple va-t-il passer à la caisse?
Bientôt, pour chanter sous la douche faudra l'autorisation d'Universal.
