1. Comment - Apple Starts Selling Music Videos

   (May 10, 2005 - 8:00 PM)

   "Since music videos are worth nothing anyway, this comes as no surprise. One might argue that these pointless and usually annoying "commercials" have been the death of good music, but who cares anymore?"
   
   agreed. music videos are nothing but promotional material. there is no reason for all that crap. i would be happy to see all that junk taken off the air waves. all those rap videos stink. just a bunch of hooligans dancing around with slutty women in thier gold jewelry that could pay to feed third world countries.
   
   if i was making music videos (and i am) they would match the words with visuals and the moods of the music. they would "visualize the music" they would give the listener something to think about that relates to the theme of the song. in the ones i have done so far you dont even see the band. why would i want to watch them play thier music on TV? its not like they really play anyways, they are just "airbanding" over the music track. i can think of one really good example of just how fake music videos are, that incident on SNL with Ashley Simpson.
   
   "200 bucks might be the sweat spot"
   
   ah, i think you meant sweet spot
   
   "I must point out i do not pay for music at all."
   
   not that i could careless, but you are obviously one of the reasons why the music industry looses that money you talk about on the videos.
   
   "But for the ability to get Perfect video i would be eager to pay."
   
   why? why would you pay for something that you already seem to not pay for? you dont pay for the music, obviously you already rip DVDs for the videos, why would you pay to download them?
   
   so why would Apple set up a service to let you download good quality video, even for $.99?
