"iTunes store shutdown feared"

how stupid is apple? do they really think that anyone is going to believe that they will close itunes down because of a six cent increase in the copyright tax? and the argument? "we don't want to change our pricing from 99 cents per song and then it's not profitable anymore... so we'll quit." apple is going to walk away from a market that they pretty much own and hand it to its competitors! right! what a pathetic move. now, i'm sure the copyright royalty board is almost perfectly evil and the cost will eventually get passed on to the consumer but i do hope they raise it by seven cent, just to give apple the finger.
