I have no problem believing that Beyonce and Jay-Z might be considering starting their own label. I do have an issue with Apple getting involved in it as anything more than a distributor. The "Meetings" going on would probably be about distributing music from the label--the same kind of meetings that go on between Apple and Universal, Sony, CBS, etc. etc. Rubbish.

The only way to make a little money in the music industry is to start out with a lot of money. However, if a company could be created to act as an aggregator of content (of all musical genres) free and clear of all label contractual relationship, this might be interesting. The problem with the entire music industry's current management is that they're all personality and no principle and it's filled with the music industy's current management.

There ya' have it — smashed! But they specifically said "for the time being - this is a rumor". Why would they add that statement??? I have to wonder if there is an effort under way?? Smashed? I don't think so. :-) Hmmmmm,

The result is that they could do this if they wanted. This seems however a real long shot. apple settled that suit with apple corps about 6 months ago.

Sounds like an extremely risky business prop, but at the same time Jobs likes to be known as a risk-taker. And it could mean bucks if it pans out... Jayonce and Jobs in bed together?

Would he leave of course money is the things that make the world go round, will he leave very hard to say he has an established name making him an easy target if he (the model) fails. This is going to be a waiting game for both the consumer as well as the industry. This seems too far fetched yet so possible that it would be hard not to believe.
