tuaw.com — Now that December has arrived and NBC's contract has expired, all of their content has been removed from the iTunes Store, as promised. That means no more Bravo, mun2, NBC, NBC News, CNBC, NBC Sports, Sci Fi, Sleuth, Telemundo or USA Network.

WHAT?!? iTunes is partly responcible for the writer's strike? Funny, I thought it was because the content holders screwed them on residuals with DVDs and they were determined not to get screwed on digital downloads. It doesn't matter WHO is leading in digital downloads, the writers would have struck. Unless you mean that video content should not be available online thereby making their point moot. Make up your mind, but both choices make you sound kind of demented.

Of course NBC has the right to distribute any way they please. This isn't about that. It's about pulling your content that made 15 million dollars. It's about customers all ready to hand you money and you decide that's not in your best interests. If NBC REALLY wanted to make money AND screw Apple at the same time, they would leave it on iTunes and sell it for less without DRM somewhere else. In a format that anyone with a computer or video player less than five years old could use. Don't limit your market. That's the point

The problem with my mom is she thinks it's immoral for some reason and doesn't even want me to do it. ( I do anyway) My point is what's the point of trying to get them to do it, why not just do it for your own enjoyment?

They could still come up with an option for buying / downloading. Why does it have to be on itubes?
