Kid Rock is refusing 'to go all in' with iTunes for now because he thinks the Apple service is screwing artists.
To date, there's a minimal collection of Kid Rock's works on the iTunes site.
The rocker tells the BBC that artists do not get paid enough for downloads from the Apple store. The revenue share model is based "an old system, where iTunes takes the money, the record company takes the money, and they don't give it to the artists," he claims.
He went on to say that the internet "was an opportunity for everyone to be treated fairly, for the consumer to get a fair price, for the artist to be paid fairly, for the record companies to make some money. But they (Apple) stuck to the "old system".
BUT as the interview goes on, Pammy Anderson's ex says, "I will be on iTunes eventually because I can't avoid it, but I like to always stick to my guns and prove a point and do something original and because I believe in it."
He makes no sense! Either you believe in it or you don't and you act according to principle.
At the end of the day, seems like Kid Rock proves the point that for the most part, peeps will 'sell out' to get paid.
Getting paid helps ya get laid, Kid!
