Of course Linkin Park and others are refusing to sell anything but full albums on Apple's iTunes store or they are avoiding putting their music on the service at all. Apple has a model for legal music sales and the artists are making themselves part of the problem by avoiding a good solution.

Avoiding iTunes is pure greed and stupidity. Would a so-called "artist" rather make 99¢ for one song, or make nothing when people illegally copy and share the same song on another service? Apple has the music distribution model of the future, and "artists" should be thanking them for it.

I think the best example I've ever seen of how greedy and out of touch the bastids are is the movie "American Graffiti." You can buy the movie on VHS for five bucks or DVD for 10 at Walmart. The soundtrack is $30 on cd.
