Online music heats up

Real made headlines earlier when they announced they would sell music compatible with the Apple iPod. Apple of course threatened suit, which I think is stupid. Why not encourage more people to go to the iPod, since the iPod -not the iTunes Music Store- has always been the big money maker.

Now Real fired another shot, offering their music at half the price of iTMS. Oh, boy. Nice thing about this is that I can actually see people flocking to online music and away from physical music at these prices. No word if the music they sell is any good, though.
