From my cold dead hands.
According to Doug Morris, chairman of Universal Music, I'm a criminal:
Yesterday, Microsoft agreed to share revenue from Zune sales with record labels and artists. Forcing the issue was Universal Music Group, which at deadline is the only label named in the program. UMG refused to license its music to the Zune unless it could receive a percentage of each device sold, in addition to standard music licensing fees for downloads and subscriptions."These devices are just repositories for stolen music, and they all know it," UMG chairman/CEO Doug Morris says. "So it's time to get paid for it."
Well Mr. Morris, I'm sorry to tell you this, but I purchased every bit of music on my iPod. I've never stolen a thing. You got paid for my music.
However, I'd like you, and all of the artists on your label, to know that I will never purchase another item from Universal Music. And I urge all music fans to do the same.Don't license your music. It doesn't matter to me. I'll just buy something else instead.
You won't get another dime from me unless you pry it from my cold dead hands.
