I feel they are just doing it for the money and online popularity when someone who can't sing like Rebecca Black sell songs on iTunes, and they aren't really selling songs on iTunes for the love of music, or to provide a good source of paid music for people online.
They have the freedom to sell what they want... but they will be just flooding the space with their junk, and decreasing the enjoyable aspect of the service. haha
Indeed, iTunes should have a moderators who listen to music to make sure they sound good before iTunes accept them into iTunes like how record labels reject crappy bands since I think having too many poor sounding songs can make searching for good songs on iTunes harders for buyers.
I think other paid to download services like Amazon MP3, Rhapsody, Napster, etc would be more popular if iTunes does not remove some of their bad songs from the service, and let anyone who want to make a quick buck from iTunes allowed to sell junk songs.
I agree that yes, they are probably in it for the money, or are just not smart enough to know that they suck. :smile: Though in some cases, there are others out there looking for "big hits" even if they're total junk (Rebecca Black *cough*) to promote and make them selves some money...their users.
As long as the bad stuff doesn't build up too much, I say let them. Though yeah, I don't think any of us wants (including Apple) the iTunes store to drop in value because of this. If it does, they will need to be involved more in the management of their store content.
I think if iTunes just made a section for bad songs like "Friday" by Rebecca Back, and force them to sell the song for 0.50 cents instead of dollar there will be more happy costumers since usually people who buy independent music cds are paying less then big label cds.
Paying a dollar for a song with bad vocals is too much consider you can buy a song by Bon Jovi, the Beatles, and Elvis who have way better voices for a dollar which offer way more entertainment value then bad songs.
