AudioBanter.com - View Single Post - I-tunes: Why only for Mac's, and what exactly are you buying?

In article writes:

Why do you assume that? Burger King makes the burgers, Vivendi makes the
pop songs. Which is worth more, a burger or a Britney Spears MP3? Only
the market can really make that determination.

The difference is that once the burger is eaten, you have to make
another one in order to make another dime. However you only have to
make a song once and you can sell it as many times as the market will
buy it and make money on each sale, according to the present business
model.

If the only motive for a good song is the profit margin, then I think
you need to re-evaluate your definition of a *good* song.

This is the songwriter's business. If the only motive was to make a
good hamburger, McDonald's wouldn't survive.
