Jobs also defended claims that some record companies think that the Apple iTunes online music store has too much power. He said that Apple resisted pressure to raise prices of music downloads because it would break a deal that Apple had with people that the company had convinced to stop music piracy. "Our core initial strategy on the store was that if you want to stop piracy, the way to stop it is by competing with it, by offering a better product at a fair price. And it worked," Jobs told Newsweek. Jobs went on to say that he convinced music companies not raise prices by telling them, "many [users] will say, 'I knew it all along that the music companies were going to screw me, and now they're screwing me.' And they would never buy anything from iTunes again. We would never recover their trust." The full interview can be found here.{moscomment} |
