Universal Doesn't Renew with iTunes
Universal Music Group notified Apple last week that it will NOT be renewing its terms within an annual contract for the iTunes music store. The New York Times reported on this information, citing "anonymous" executives who didn't mind giving up the info, but wanted to make sure they didn't lose their jobs in the process.

So what exactly is Universal trying to achieve? Higher prices? A better deal from Apple that the consumer doesn't see?

The Universal execs are wrong more often than the weatherman and get paid a lot more.
If half of my decisions made on a daily basis were wrong, I would not have a job.
It seems Universal is shooting for not having a business!!!!

They probably don't care as long as they are getting more money. They might also threaten to sign a deal with a different download service but that seems a little short sighted on their part since iTunes is the third largest in music sales currently.Originally Posted by j_garcia

Clint is right. To assume that big label heads have a brain is your first mistake in all of this...
Let me 'splain. No, too much. Lemme sum up: Apple wants control, Universal wants more $$$.....

Sounds about right, but if Universal is thinking it might be something along the lines of: "Hey, we don't need a contract to sell our music on iTunes and this way if something bigger and better comes out we don't have to break a contract." Then again that is a big if.

They are thinking alright, only they are thinking about how to best line their pockets not about producing anything of any vaule for the consumer.
