http://www.slate.com/id/2131573/ Adam L. Penenberg proposes that Apple run iTunes like a stock market, with price determined by demand. “The more people who download the latest Eminem single, the higher the price will go. … Music prices would oscillate like stocks on Nasdaq, with the current cost pegged to up-to-the-second changes in the number of downloads. In essence, this is a pure free-market solution—the market alone would determine price.” One issue relating to this sort of idea is that the tracks aren’t transferrable, and this, combined with the fact that Apple know which tracks you bought, means that they could in theory apply per-customer pricing.
