“Sony Music as I understand it has no intention of withdrawing from iTunes, they’re one of our biggest partners in the digital domain. I think those words were either taken out of context or the person who spoke them was unclear on the circumstances.”
Glad that’s cleared up, and I can go back to downloading Santana, Bruce Springsteen and Avril Lavinge songs, safe in the knowledge that…oh wait, I don’t use iTunes. [Business Insider]
