UMG ponders iPod deal
p2pnet.net News:- Big Four Organized Music cartel member Vivendi Universal is thinking about doing a deal with Apple along lines similar to the one already agreed with Bill and the Boyz over their Zune muzik player.
Doug Morris, who runs Vivendi’s Universal Music Group, “may try to fashion an iPod royalty fee with Apple Computer Inc. in the next round of negotiations in early 2007,” says Reuters.
Next round of negotiations? Makes it look almost like a World Summit meeting instead of a hard-core corporate bidnes arrangement, dunnit?
Anyway, “Universal … was the first major record label to strike an agreement with Microsoft Corp. to receive a fee for every Zune digital media player sold,” says the story.
