UK Indie Labels Claim Apple's Offer
Equals Commercial Suicide 06/15/2004 11:49 AM
While Apple continues to expand their iTunes offering to Europe, many of the larger independent labels in the UK and France have decided not to participate, calling the offer Apple made them "commercial suicide." They claim that Apple is trying to bully them, using its position as the dominant downloadable music retailer to force the smaller labels into accepting a deal that gives them much less than their major label colleagues. Of course, they don't detail exactly what was offered, so it's tough to tell which side (and it certainly could be both) is really being greedy here.

iTunes UK Gets iMix Write-Indie Campaign

iTunes UK Gets iMix Write-Indie Campaign 06/29/2004 12:16 PM

UK iTunes Music Store users have hijacked (sortof) the iMix service to lambast Apple for its lack of indie labels on its newly launched European version of the service -- a lack perhaps more noticable in the UK, as many notable and popular artists release albums on smaller, independent labels. Fans can make iMixes and anonymously upload them to the Music Store with their own titles, some of which include "ITUNES NEEDS INDIES," "Where is the Radiohead 5-inch," "Release the Indies!," and "Bigger, Gayer, Camper."

That last one may have its own agenda, come to think on it.
