NBC and iTunes
As you may have heard, NBC is going to pull content from iTunes Music Store. The area of contention is that NBC wants $4.99 per television show.
At the current price of $1.99 per show, Law and Order comes to about $48 per season. This is about $10 higher then buying and ripping your own from DVD. At the new price a season comes in at a $119.756 for a 24 episode season.
While I a not going to encourage or condone any behavior that may or may not be illegal., why would someone pay $120 for a DRM rich product that is limited. The smaller version (running currently at 640x480) would not be worth it.
The real problem with NBC is that I am sure there are people out there buying the iTunes and then buying the DVD version. Those people will now stop buying from iTunes at the increased rate.
I have bought a NBC show, when I have missed it on TV. However, at $5 + tax, I will wait for reruns.
Have a happy day.
