“Never before in the history of content has the hardware been more valuable than the software…You think about the VCR or the video cassette—the video cassette always had more value than the VCR that you shoved it into. Apple has been able to turn that model on its head.”
Edgar Bronfman, Jr. (Chairman, Warner Music Group), in Like Amazon’s DRM-Free Music Downloads? Thank Apple
Edgar Bronfman is an idiot who simply doesn’t get it. Apple hasn’t made the hardware more valuable, it’s made the collection more valuable. It used to be that you weren’t able to carry the majority of your media collection with you; now, that collection represents a valuable investment. Not the hardware.
Moron.

Edgar Bronfman Jr. is a Saint. You have to understand something, man, Bronfman is not in business to make money. He is in business to make music and to share that music with everybody and to lift up everybody that deserves to be lifted up. I, on the other hand, am in business to put down everybody that deserves to be put down. This is the death of Capitalism, and it is going to die a Spectacular death.
