iPod & Music Videos: What's the Worst that Could Happen?

I found an interesting article, reposted from CNET, on Roger's Music blog. It concerns more troubles artists face if the whole video iPod thing takes off.

Here's an excerpt:

In a business as broken as the music business, the new music-video situation stands out as particularly worrisome for artists. If Apple Computer and every other Johnny-come-lately online record store starts selling the entire back catalog of videos at $1.99, artists won't see a dime of that money unless their contracts are reworked. In fact, they'll lose money on their own videos--even though they're being sold for twice as much as the music--because music videos are still considered promotion.


Here's the article.
