NBC Chief: Apple Destroying Video Biz
NBC Chief: Apple Destroying Video Biz Yep, Apple’s the bad guy here. They provided the first viable means of buying and downloading music and video off the net and now NBC claims they’re destroying the industry. That makes senses. Why not just admit that you didn’t care for Apple having the upper hand in discussions, and quit with the name-calling. BTW, I still haven’t bought anything from you since pulling your shows off of iTunes. Good luck with Hulu, ass.
