It would be cool for itms songs to be cheaper. However, the RIAA gets more than 80 cents out of those 99 cents (in the end of those 80 cents less than 10 flows to the artist btw). Apple is making a loss on the itms as it is. It seems unlikely apple would have been able to get a better deal. However, the simplicity of the itms is also its downfall. Apple could negotiate deals with independants (which are already in the itms) to sell their stuff cheaper, which could lead to an itms price war eventually. But because they prefer a unified pricing model this isn't going to happen. Even if I had access to the itms over here in Europe, I'd probably still buy mostly indie music. The RIAA needs to die, soon.
