Just when you thought they were starting to learn from the past

The Recording industries go back to their old greedy self.
iTunes has been forced to pump the prices of their single tracks up to $1.25, making some albums now $16.99 to purchase for download.

Isn't that special.

Once again, they don't F$#@ing realize the reason they are losing money is BECAUSE the f#@#ing prices are so high. That makes it cost the equivalent or more money to purchase music online then to buy from a brick 'n mortar vendor. They even have had the gall to try and force customers to have to buy full albums instead of single tracks, luckily that didn't fly with iTunes.

I shake my head in disgust at the sheer greed and unwavering contempt the RIAA (which is powered by the big 5 recording companies) has for it's customers. If there was any message I could send out to them it would be to "Wake the f#$* up!!", but that doesn't seem to be happening any time soon.

update



Apparently according to Apple the above is just a rumor, and that their $0.99 per track price tag will stay for now
