The Curious Behavior of Dinosaurs, Pt. 2
Editor's note: When I refer to the dinosaurs, btw, it's usually one of three groups of people-publishers, the movie industry, and especially the Record Industry and it's representatives...they're dinosaurs because they're stuck in a swamp, slowly sinking, with death staring them in the face, yet all they do is try to get more of what drew them to the swamp in the first place, regardless of how much it annoys their customers. Like the dinosaurs, most of them will be extinct within a few years.

Last month, we pointed out that some of the music industry folks who actually "get it" were getting worried that when iTunes launched its variable pricing offering, labels would focus much more on jacking up prices to $1.29, rather than finding songs to offer at $0.69. Aaron Martin-Colby points out that this appears to have been quite an accurate fear. Gizmodo went looking for $0.69 songs and had a lot of trouble finding any. $1.29 songs, however, were quite easy to find. Once again, looks like the record labels are more focused on squeezing fans rather than giving them a real reason to buy.
