While Apple basks in the glow of a successful product launch, the company may have a fresh fire to put out. According to reports, record label Universal has decided not to review its contract with the company that allows its songs to be sold on iTunes. The label's music may still remain on iTunes after the current contract expires, but Universal will have the right to withdraw it at any time. There's a good chance that Universal is simply posturing here, as it would be hurting itself significantly if it stopped selling on iTunes, which has become the third largest music retailer in the country. That being said, tension between the labels and Apple has been brewing for quite some time, as many labels have been unhappy with Apple's stance on song pricing. Of course, the labels have only themselves to blame for getting into this mess. Their insistence on selling DRM'd tracks is what has allowed Apple to establish and keep its dominance in online music, which in turn gives it the upper hand in these negotiations. If Universal really wanted to stick it to Apple, it wouldn't withdraw its music, but it would find another outlet to sell unprotected MP3s that can play on consumers' iPods. More than anything else, that would force Apple to respond to its demands.
