Universal to Pull Out of iTunes

With so much good happening to Apple lately, what could possibly go wrong? Well if Universal’s decision goes forward, then the iTunes catalogue may have a chunk taken out of it. For whatever reason, Universal decided against renewing their contract with Apple, and at this point it’s difficult to say what will happen, because no one knows. It would be unwise to assume the worst though, as anything could happen. Interesting turn of events regardless.

We don’t know specifically what caused Universal to turn away — perhaps it’s the weight of the rising anti-DRM movement among consumers, or perhaps it’s because of Stevie J.’s brash negotiating tactics, continual refusal to hand over iPod cash, or oceanic persistence in keeping tracks locked in at $0.99.
