Dude, You're Getting a Financial Windfall

I’m a nobody and Edgar Bronfman is a millionaire hundreds of times over, but the man is really off the beaten track. This is what happens when, like Rummie and Wolfie, you get disconnected from everyday life because you live in a lap-of-luxury-bubble. And, as we’ve seen, bubble-boys rarely get it right. Jobs may be a bubble-boy too, but he’s been right and Edgar has been wrong on digital music, so maybe Jobs is sucking some air through a pin-hole in his bubble.

I don’t care where my music comes from as long as it is on the iTunes music store and can play on my iPhone/iPod. I think most people in this regard are like me. Rather than like the (man, I love this term…thanks, Fake Steve!) freetards, etc. types who nitpick over non-sense and think non-DRM will win out of principle–it won’t! Why? Because people care about convenience more than anything. They don’t want any hassle in getting their music, movies, tv shows, and video. Hassle means you’ve just lost them. They don’t want to configure a (non-DRM Open-Source) Linux tard-box or tard-pod so that said tard-machine will sync and then play their stuff. They just want their stuff. Now. ASAP. Got it? Edgar, are you listening?

With how well everyone other than the iTunes service is doing in the digital music business and from the drop in CD sales falling faster than a lead brick because Bronfman & Co. are doing such a grand job of managing Universal, if Universal…er, Bronfman is stupid enough to leave iTunes, after a few years, it just might be cheap enough for Disney to buy for pennies on the dollar. I’m sure Disney’s largest shareholder and Board member will be glad to suggest that when the time comes, though I doubt Edgar will be invited to join the Disney Board. Edgar, there’s always vacationing in Monte Carlo.
