Robert Fripp, member of the infamous band King Crimson, has posted to his weblog some "discussions" he had with the EMI group regarding the release of Crimson tracks as digital downloads.  Put it all in the category of Unauthorized file sharing of a corporate kind.

the reason for the foundering of our re-licensing negotiation with EMI, last year, was on the subject of accounting for digital downloads. we were told - face to face - that digital downloads "were not important" and therefore should not concern ourselves with a royalty of 6 cents when EMI received c. 69 cents per download (the artist royalty subject to packing deduction, of course). we proposed a third party licensing arrangement, to receive 75% of receipts. and if downloading was not important, then why not? the reply, to support the investment in downloading technology EMI need a high royalty, is spurious. the investment in that technology came from IT, not record companies. a small part of that investment (a mere $4 million) was the result of an initiative by david singleton here at DGM (BootlegTV in seattle).

As a result, Crimson tracks are slowly being removed from most download stores.  At the of this posting, none could be found wthin iTunes.
