Blender Makes a Blunder on Record Company Screw Ups

Blender.com recently posted an article about the 20 biggest record company screw-ups of all time. Their tagline? "From turning down The Beatles to stomping Napster- the most ill-advised, foolhardy and downright idiotic decisions ever made by The Man." While those 2 decisions certainly qualify as big-time screw ups, I was surprised that ceding control to Apple for digital music sales did not make the list. Now that Apple is America's 2nd largest music retailer, the labels have realized their folly and are doing their utmost to prevent history from repeating itself when it comes to TV shows and movies. I think it's only a matter of time before iTunes becomes #1.
