I think at this point it is the iTunes store that is closer to a
monopoly than any of the record companies.
Yes I suppose so.
I tend to forget about Apples ecosystem since i dont like lock-ins ;
thus Apple never appealed to me.
But i was thinking more along the lines of Hi Resolution music.
The record companies believe they are the only source for a band
and so they can shovel us poor sound quality and we will swallow it.
But with a bit of googling consumers are realising that they can get a 24bit
96khz high res rip from vinyl that hasn't been butchered by the loudness
wars. Thus the monopoly falls (at least for older music).
