Ah, the fresh smell of greed. Now that the labels have publicly exposed their greed and criticized Apple for not giving them enough cash (70¢ out of 99¢ per song isn’t enough, I guess), it’s time for the artists and their managers to chime in. And in the end, guess who ends up looking greedy yet once more? Yep, you guessed it, the record labels.
