NBC Universal chief Jeff Zucker has some sour grapes over Apple's continued success with iTunes and wants to make sure the whole world knows it. According to Zucker, Apple has "destroyed the music business" and must be stopped before it does the same to video. He revealed that the iPod maker rebuffed NBC's proposals to raise prices on some of its content, and downright refused to give the company a cut of Apple's iPod sales.


Wow. NBC really expected Apple to give them a portion of their iPod sales? Are they going to expect royalties from Sony for allowing them to show NBC on their TVs?

tv is a dying industry. of course they should expect royalties from a company that is selling their product and putting them out of business at the same time.
