What is their current income from Apple streaming?

Since it hasn't even launched yet, wouldn't it be $0? Thus, there are no temporary lapses in income.



Apple providing a temporarily free alternative to its paid-music store is going to shift customers to the free alternative, especially since purchased music rarely lives the iCage of devices. I can pay $15 for an album to listen to it on my device on my drive home, or I can stream it for free on my device -- why pay?

iTunes income will drop, hence the lost income.


The problem is the income with Itunes here.
