Apple blames rights holders for Aussie price hikes
news Technology giant Apple has blamed copyright owners such as film and music studios for Australian price hikes on content sold through its iTunes digital store, despite politicians at the Parliament’s IT price hike inquiry pointing out to the company that its size as the world’s largest company by capitalisation gave it substantial market power.
The company has been severely criticised in Australia for the prices of some content sold through its iTunes store. For example, last week consumer advocacy group Choice pointed out that it cost Australians 70 percent more to buy local band AC/DC’s Back in Black album on iTunes than the same content costs in the US.
