Hindsight is a wonderful thing...

The only hindsight that the author, Dave Jewell, has -- is -- hindsight up his own rear end...

Apple cuts UK iTunes prices

Apple can *raise* prices, too!!

Apple will raise prices in order to "standardize" prices across the European community -- if -- the record labels persist in their crazy pricing schemes. This is where the problem *originates* -- the music labels. They are the source of the problem. They always have been the source of the problem. Apple can only sell what they provide to Apple and at whatever price that the music labels provide to Apple (from which Apple derives the selling price).

So, if the music labels don't *adjust* and *standardize* their prices -- Apple will *raise* the prices "across-the-board" for all of the European Community -- in order that they can say, "We're selling everyone at the same price..." LOL!!
