iTunes business aspects
iTunes business aspects: This is a good summary of how creators can work with Apple's iTunes service. Even if you're not interested in that service or music in general, it's a good read to get a sense of the dynamics between multiple creators, a wide audience, and a transaction service. Note also the difficulty in planning for hacks (payola, coordinated-buys, etc). [My current understanding is that there was no NDA required for that meeting, but if I learn differently then I'll pull my link to that article.]

Update: I removed the link after reading in this BBC article that the meeting was supposed to be covered by an NDA, and that the original report was pulled from the original author's site.
