They have screwed consumers for years and even more so with piracy at its all time high (RIAA I'm looking at you) I'm glad Apple is standing up and forcing their pricing system down their throat. I mean anyone who looks at Apples track-record over the last decade or more specifically the last 5 years can see that Apple knows what they are doing and knows how to be successful. Right now no one knows how to deal with digital music/movies/shows, every other service who has tried as failed more or less. iTunes store is still thriving and getting more popular each day. What these idiot organizations don't get is piracy is extremely easy and usually more convenient than actually going and buying these shows. Increasing prices isn't going to help, if anything they need to decrease them. The only way to sell video or music digitally is to offer it for a price so low its practically free, match that with an amazingly easy way to get it and thats how you make money off things people can easily get for free. Thats why iTunes is doing as well as it is. Changing the prices won't cripple the store, but it won't be as popular as it is now.

I'd hate to hear people start griping at Apple for the stupidity of Fox & co. I’d only like to see them set their own prices if Apple makes it clear to consumers.
