Universal Music Head Says iPod Owners Are Thieves


Posted by Mitch Wagner, Nov 13, 2006 01:44 PM

"These devices are just repositories for stolen music, and they all know it," UMG chairman/CEO Doug Morris says.

Some may be thieves, but all iPod owners are customers and potential customers of UMG's product. Big media companies like Universal routinely think of their customers as the enemy, and they talk about it publicly. That's a good way to put yourself out of business.
