(NYTimes) - In a rare move, Microsoft said yesterday that it had agreed to pay a percentage of the sales of its new portable media player to the Universal Music Group....
“Each of these devices is used to store unpaid-for material. This way, on top of the material people do pay for, the record companies are getting paid on the devices storing the copied music.”
(Says record executive David Geffen. Emphasis mine.)
So then. People who buy Zunes (Microsoft's upcoming attempt at being iPod) will be assumed to be music "pirates." Pay a tax for it. And presumably get no price break on Universal music in the bargain.
Sound good to you?
