Kid Rock had decided to boycott iTunes by not allowing his songs to be sold on the online music service.The rapper/rocker is angry at the company because it does not pay artists enough for their downloads.He told BBC News:

“It’s based on an old system where iTunes takes the money, the record company takes the money, and they don’t give it to the artists.”“Back in the day, we all know the stories of the Otis Reddings and Chuck Berrys and Fats Dominos who never got paid.”“So 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.“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.”

How long will this fight last?
