- cowboy86, on 11/15/2007, -8/+1 Nobody gives a ***** about Apple. Get over yourself. No one is jealous as they have nothing to be jealous over. Why don't you get an OS that doesn't steal everything from everyone else. At least quit praising the outsourced mac hardware. There's nothing to be a fanboy of really. Nothing Apple is actually Apple except for the iphone which is a joke and the ipod which is actually good.
- chesscat, on 11/15/2007, -1/+2Larry New Jersey how much does Microsnot pay you to bash apple?
- Glass_Onion, on 11/15/2007, -2/+3I'm well jealous. I want Steve Jobs salty bulb lolling on my tongue

- frozenpxl, on 11/15/2007, -4/+3Even if you would have spelled 'back' correctly, I wouldn't have dugg your comment. There is no need to make Mac sound like the name of a porn star.
- Zero2aHero, on 11/15/2007, -0/+146Wow, look at this quote...
---
"We used to fool ourselves," he said. "We used to think our content was perfect just exactly as it was. We expected our business would remain blissfully unaffected even as the world of interactivity, constant connection and file sharing was exploding. And of course we were wrong. How were we wrong? By standing still or moving at a glacial pace, we inadvertently went to war with consumers by denying them what they wanted and could otherwise find and as a result of course, consumers won."

That quote needs to be on the wall of every music execs office- hawarkarem, on 11/15/2007, -0/+41Is this a dream?...
I mean..what happens now?- Coded1, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3I bet if I called this in 2002 I would have cleaned up nice right now.
- bitspace, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3Nothing, because none of the other execs will listen to him. Let's also keep an eye on how Warner develops business in the future to see if he means what he says.
- Kerrigore, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6Not a dream, but it may be one of the signs of the apocalypse.
- nfxmedia, on 11/15/2007, -0/+5Cats and Dogs living together. Mass hysteria.
- Ratteler, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1They sucker people into paying the same price for CD for DRMed music they will have to buy again and again for every new device they want, and cut the manufacturing cost for CD's and Jewel cases.
- Schneckehaus, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1This was step 2.
Next is profit. - michaelb1, on 11/20/2007, -0/+1"of course, consumers won."
Music to my ears.
- bitcloud, on 11/15/2007, -13/+5Yeah too little too late Warner... we've figure out how to do it for ourselves...
(of course apple is getting praised because it's the new warner - ***** them all. DIY FTW)- chaosium, on 11/15/2007, -2/+4At some scale you can't do it yourself. And no, not even Ani DiFranco is DIY, but definitely an "indie".
- NoOneButMe, on 11/15/2007, -2/+11Better late then never. There are people who wouldn't mind buying stuff if it was as easy/fast/has as many files as bittorrent or some other method does.
- bitcloud, on 11/15/2007, -2/+1that's right... jump right back on that corporate teet that poisoned us all for so long...
RIAA is dead! long live apple music's monopoly!- chaosium, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1"that's right... jump right back on that corporate teet that poisoned us all for so long...
RIAA is dead! long live apple music's monopoly!"
Feel free to start johnny jerkoff's mp3 hut, but don't expect anyone to do anything but laugh at your small scale operations.
- chaosium, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1"that's right... jump right back on that corporate teet that poisoned us all for so long...
- digitallysick, on 11/15/2007, -2/+6It is a very profound quote, the music industry has finally started to wake up and realize they spent all this time fighting it, instead of embracing it. Years ago they knew their was a demand for digital content , but instead held on to the cd, while apple created an empire.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3Usually, these revelations occur about two weeks after it is too late.
Bravo for him -- but our economy is about to tank. And the Music industry is going to get replaced by iTunes. Can he change it around? I think the Indies are,... but the major labels will have to subsist on less profit margin -- it's that simple.
- hawarkarem, on 11/15/2007, -0/+41Is this a dream?...
- sonicdeviant, on 11/15/2007, -0/+37Amen. They woke up...only it was about 7 years too late.
- geminitojanus, on 11/15/2007, -2/+20There has never been a more relevant time to use this one: "Better late than never."
Thank goodness for a glimmer of sanity left in this world.- bitcloud, on 11/15/2007, -1/+7I thought the saying was "too little too late"
- NoOneButMe, on 11/15/2007, -0/+7Last one out the door.. And Warner's hardly the last one out this time.

- course6, on 11/15/2007, -1/+9Yah, I'll wait to see some action before I believe that he's really seen the error of his way.
- frozenpxl, on 11/15/2007, -2/+5Nothing will happen while Metallica is still signed to them.

- ilwacho, on 11/15/2007, -8/+3hehe... too lame man... too late
- Haz3rd, on 11/15/2007, -1/+20They're too early. It's not April yet.
- phogasmic, on 11/15/2007, -3/+7the music industry is finally waking up, hopefully its not to late.
- benitojuarez, on 11/15/2007, -0/+16Do does this mean theyre going to drop cases and forgive and forget about anyone theyve sued?
- Cooperjones, on 11/15/2007, -7/+0Now that some studio mogul has finally realized the truth, the Writers Guild needs to pick up the iPhone and get Steve Jobs in there to negotiate the strike. Jobs gets excellence, rewards creatives (Jonathan Ives anyone?) and has already done the work the lazy and overpaid studio executives won't do -- Jobs has THOUGHT THROUGH the problems of internet media content and come up with his magic 99 cent music download formula on iTunes. He can do the same for the movie business. Jobs needs to get in there and help settle the strike before Hollywood succumbs to this Civil War. The moguls need to free the slaves (the writers)!
- colincornaby, on 11/15/2007, -1/+12Look, I'm a Mac guy, but Jobs is not a magic angel who can come down from on high and solve any world problem.
- CATSCEO, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1He's trippin'
- Coded1, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2Some how to have Hollywood complaining about politics is a bit too drastic, why don't both of you take a pay cut and cut me some slack on the prices and commercials, maybe something better then reality tv too.
- ssj2119, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2We'll see where this goes - all this means is that they have come up with a way to get the same revenue as they were before but in this day and age, they're not really waking up and changing for the better, they are changing their plans in order to get more money for themselves...they are very short sighted..personal experience
- sobo310, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3I think it's kinda sad that when i first read the title/article I thought it was a fake/spoof. That the music industry already damaged themselves so much that the reading comments like that the first thing i think about is, is this a joke. Well I hope that more people take exec and starting embracing technology and their customers
- asancho, on 11/15/2007, -0/+24In other news a HypnoToad belonging to Steve Jobs was found hopping out of the Warner Music Chiefs office today...
- randysouth, on 11/15/2007, -0/+6Dugg for the Futurama reference.
- consonance, on 11/15/2007, -1/+15Hypnotoad isn't real, dumbaALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.
- defektiv, on 11/15/2007, -1/+28ok wtf is going on? first the republicans vote to push cheneys impeachment through, then ron paul gets recognition and now this? am i still in america? what's the catch?
/play_twilight zone theme- Shadowhawk109, on 11/15/2007, -1/+4Picture, if you will...
- randysouth, on 11/15/2007, -1/+6And in other news Warner Music discovers the telegraph.
- nightstrm, on 11/15/2007, -0/+10If he really feels this way, we should see Warner music DRM-free on iTunes Plus next week...
I'm not holding my breath.- frozenpxl, on 11/15/2007, -2/+5It will never happen while Metallica is still signed with them.
- insllvn, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1***** Metallica. When was the last time they were relevant? Have they produced ANY worthwhile music lately? Seriously I don't know. I am not a fan of theirs, although some of their old stuff was decent.
- frozenpxl, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1I love all of Metallica's stuff. But they are very opinionated about DRM.
- insllvn, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1***** Metallica. When was the last time they were relevant? Have they produced ANY worthwhile music lately? Seriously I don't know. I am not a fan of theirs, although some of their old stuff was decent.

- joshmoney, on 11/15/2007, -0/+23Ha ha. Yeah, The Onion gets me everyti... wait what...?
- senatorpjt, on 11/15/2007, -1/+5No *****, Sherlock. It's not like people have been saying that since computers could make noise.
- encrypter, on 11/15/2007, -1/+2they can?
- TomPhoolery, on 11/15/2007, -0/+4Frank Zappa would be proud.
Well, he'd probably be more like "I ***** TOLD YOU SO!!!!"- MrPhultz, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1I miss Frank Zappa.
- m00nmaster, on 11/15/2007, -3/+2Ok, we all get it by now. Apple is headquartered in Cupertino. You know, they aren't the ONLY company there. Please stop referring to them as the "Cupertino-based company".
- nfxmedia, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3They didn't say the ONLY Cupertino based company. Simmer down.
- keithpetey, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1*clap*.....*clap*....*clap*....and the last horse finally crosses the finish line.
- insllvn, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1Not the last, not by a long shot.
- Gir9000, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2I thought maybe this was from the Onion... somebody send this to NBC!
- CrashKC, on 08/25/2008, -0/+5Can I digg this twice, please?
- chkdg8, on 11/15/2007, -0/+2The recording industry has known this all along and specially during the Napster scandal. They just milked it for as long as they could and finally they realized that the game is over. They can go after bit torrent sites all they want but it'll never stop the bleeding. They're fighting a war that can be best described as "death by a thousand cuts". News Groups have been around since the late seventies and they're not going away because there is no source or a head to cut off. Apple on the other hand is just playing the game by selling digital distributions and more big name artists are selling their music online or through itunes. Everyone downloads and pirates media. That's why media players sell in the first place! If people payed for media then believe me when I tell you that Apple's stock wouldn't be where it is today.

- backwoodsbob, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1And this profound revelation is going to change things how? I'm sure the mobile phone people were suitably impressed, being told by an admitted dinosaur to become Apple.
Wake me up when some real news happens. - codyman, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1"Hi, Hell? Yes, Yes, I know, we'll talk about that later.... anyways, um, are you feeling cold down there?"
- counterplex, on 11/15/2007, -0/+3I think it's time to support Warner Music with our dollars. Clearly this guy "gets it" - it's time to tell him we appreciate it and encourage him to do more and go further.
- tlow, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1This reminds me of the following phrase: "Actions speak louder than words"
So until they act, these changes are too queit for me to notice. - sadchild, on 11/15/2007, -0/+0i hope the hell you are joking. where's your < /sarcasm > tag?
- tlow, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1This reminds me of the following phrase: "Actions speak louder than words"

He finally figured out that his cheese isn't ever coming back.- CrazyZ, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1Too bad there are a thousand Haws for the one Hem.... I wonder when you saw that movie?
- knuckles, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1That was a lot of ass-kissing on Edgar's part. I'd love to see the chart which opened his eyes, sales of DRM tunes must be dismal.

- gkiltz, on 11/15/2007, -0/+0Talk is cheap! Let's see if he puts his money where his mouth is!
- computerfreedom, on 11/15/2007, -1/+0Lock users into a single proprietary standard and abuse the hell out of them. Thats what the music "industry" did with the CD, and that is what apple does with its iproduct line. Don't get fooled, its just effective marketing, but you are in a locked status, all the same.
- antitab, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1I don't recall MPEG-4 being proprietary in any sense of the word, considering it's an open standard. Unless you meant FairPlay, in which case if you've been anywhere but under a rock you'll have noticed that Apple is pushing the industry AWAY from that and towards iTunes Plus. 0/10 troll.
- computerfreedom, on 11/16/2007, -0/+0iTunes...proprietary...iPod....the new generation has locked out everyone but mac and windows users. the codecs they use are not the relevant issue here

- scyon, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1I purchase music, but only if I don't need to break whatever DRM scheme that forces me to use a particular program on a particular platform. This basically means CDs and mp3s from music labels that aren't in the RIAA.
- sadchild, on 11/15/2007, -0/+0first he killed seagrams, wiping them off the map. now he's killing warner music. making all the wrong moves as usual. why any company wants him at the helm is beyond me. his track record is horrendous.
PLUS his own kids download music illegally. i don't see them being taken to court.
