Apple (AAPL) is the world's biggest company

Here's why: It has no problem about putting the price of a Whitney Houston Greatest Hits album on iTunes from $3 to $7.99 on news of her death.

USD 7.99 for a bunch of mp3's?
screw that, when I can get the CD for less than that in some bargain bin, or at Walmart....
and then rip it onto my computer....
and then transfer the files on to my non Apple mp3 player or phone!

If I'd already had her mp3s on my HD and was somehow unable to delete them myself, I'd pay someone $7.99 to do it for me.

PS maybe the price has gone up because people all of a sudden have heard of her again? Supply and demand.

i'd pay $7.99 for mp3s of her screaming matches with Bobby Brown and clips of her drug-ruined voice shouting obscenities....

It's not Apple that raised the price. It's the publisher/copyright holder that sets the price. Apple just takes its share (a percentage).
