Steve vs Arnold (Dec 11 2003 03:43 GMT) - Rolling Stone has a nice interview with Steve Jobs where he talks about his discussions with the labels regarding the contracting terms around iTunes music store.He's being polite when he says that the labels can pick musicians, but aren't good at technology, because I'm not sure how good they are at picking acts (by the same token, VC's only have about 1 great company in 10, so I'm not sure what the right base rate is).Arnold Kling is unimpressed by the interview. He does not believe that record companies invest in unknown artists the way Jobs claims they do. He says that unlike VCs, record companies do not give big up front advances to unknown artists. |
