Apple responds to NBC's show withdrawal
Apple has responded, saying they will act much sooner than the duration of the contract allows. They claim they will quickly halt sales of all NBC content:
Rather than cut off NBC programs in the middle of the season, Apple decided to stop before the new fall episodes premiere next month, he said.
As NBC's content makes up a significant portion of iTunes video sales, it represents a blow to both Apple and NBC. Will NBC back down on demanding more than double the price per video? Will Apple cave in to $5 video downloads? Neither seems likely at this point.

$5 is very unreasonable for video's that you can see for free, sans a small sprinkle of 30-second commercials at NBC's website. Factor in that the broadcaster will likely produce a DVD set after the season for $39 - $59 with all the bonus content and that $130 for a season at iTunes looks to be outrageous. |

Thanks Apple. It is good to see someone standing up for the consumer in the fight against big media corporations. |

These media giants make all kinds of money already and they except to stop piracy by jacking up the price on overrated shows? Give me a break |
