[Ti] Apple vs. Apple - I guess I was right!

Steve Wozniak paused, thought it over, and spoke thusly:

>Unless Apple buys Apple...

That would be interesting. If Apple Computer used a label to set up 
another, purer, version of mp3.com, they'd be onto something.

The whole brouhaha over 'piracy' is really the RIAA agenda to 
restrict distribution, globally. Apple has, or can get, the servers 
to distribute 'indie', and unsigned bands, for free to some, and 
maybe a really inexpensive sliding scale for other touring acts.

Tie-ins (marketing clothing for bands, etc) could be profitable and 
tremendous goodwill. That, and the availability of the iTunes store 
to the Windoze-world, and who knows? Maybe take a run at the 
PC-centric TechTV?

If I was running Apple I'd be chatting with Edgar Bronfman and Bill 
Joy, and a few others, about taking it to the next level.

Too much espresso, back to (home) work.  :=)

P.S. Doesn't Michael Jackson still own the Beatles catalog (most of 
it), and Buddy Holly, etc? Jackson just got turned down for a 
mortgage in Fla, bankruptcy could be right around the corner. Maybe 
that's what's prompting Apple Records to try to get some capital...
