In a fantastic turn of events for Apple, Steve Jobs has successfully secured the 99 cents pricing from 4 major record labels. The labels had wanted to charge more for newer songs and offer discounts on older songs. While that may seem fair from a logistical standpoint, it would be perceived as another pathetic attempt by the music industry to milk sales. 99 cents is a good deal for everyone involved. We shouldn’t charge based on how popular an artists is–that seems to defeat the whole purpose of new, original music. Bravo Mr. Jobs, bravo.
