Ahhh. DRM rears it's head again. iTunes is offering tunes not protected by DRM for a higher price. They are also involved in, um, discussions with content providers who want them to charge a higher price and get a bigger slice of the pie. NBC will no longer provide content, for example, because Apple wouldn't accede to demands that would effectively raise the price of a video from $2 to $5 and give NBC a bigger cut. Other networks continue to provide shows for the video iPod under the existing arrangements.
I suspect NBC's decision will come back to bite them.
