NBC: slap the iTunes hand that feeds you?

September 1st, 2007

nbcApple’s iTunes music store has been a benefit to NBC and other TV networks selling episodes and full seasons of their television programming worldwide. A number of NBC shows and special programming events have been online for $1.99/episode.

To prove money greed makes the world go round NBC has broken off relations with the iTunes music store over their demand to charge $5.00/episode … more than double the current episode download price point.

Shame on NBC for pulling such a greedy decision. Exactly who is going to provide that revenue (and successful download solution) tied to all those iPods?

    That’s pretty foolish, I mean seriously, how easy is it to use bittorrent to download any TV show for free one day after it has aired, and with the commercials stripped out even. At least with iTunes those who would like to go legit could do so.
