Apple Thoughts: Pink Floyd Wins Lawsuit Against EMI, Loss for iTunes?

"Music legends Pink Floyd won a lawsuit with their label EMI Thursday, with the band successfully defending its right to block the sale of individual songs on digital download services like iTunes."

Pink Floyd signed contract with EMI, and one of the conditions was that EMI couldn't sell individual songs without the permission of the band. This was before the digital revolution, so EMI thought they could sell the songs, since it wasn't addressed in the contract. Woops. Court sides with Pink Floyd. Not too surprising to see this since Pink Floyd has always been about the album experience.
