not really a surprise, /. summaries are typically sensationalist or just wrong.

A lot of people, including the creator, believed the dub was better than the original voice acting (sorry, no source for this). Regardless of what they aim for with the voices in this movie, they will fall short, I'm sure. Specifically Keanu. This has already been said, but his generally monotone, almost lifeless voice is a far stretch from either version of Spike. I guess I will miss Spike's signature hair, as well, but that's not really going to be important when you consider all the other major attributes that will almost assuredly be ruined. Also, Spike d---err...woops, little too much 4chan.

I ruined everything. Maybe without me this article stood a chance.

I'm sorry, everyone. :'(

Did I see the word correlation in a summary and then not the "correlationisnotcausation" tag? I'm proud of you /.! So proud!

Looming Royalty Decision Threatens iTunes Store, Apple Hints 279

Posted by timothy on Thursday October 02, 2008 @03:34PM from the but-each-penny-is-only-wafer-thin dept.

eldavojohn writes "You may recall us discussing some legislation about online music. More decisions are being made that may affect how much money Apple must impart to labels and musicians. Right now, it's 9 cents a track — which adds up, when you sell 2.4 billion tracks each year. The Copyright Royalty Board is asking for 15 cents a track (66% increase) and Apple isn't going to agree." Reader scorp1us points out a similar article at CNN; both stories mention that Apple has intimated such a change might cause a complete shutdown of the iTunes Music Store. Update: 10/02 21:03 GMT by T : According to CNet, the rate has been officially frozen at 9.1 cents per track.
