Dave:

For IP if you like.

It seems that Apple has met with representatives from 100+ independent
record labels about adding them to the iTunes music store.  The high
order bits are:

* essentially the same deal as the big labels
* all sales reported to SoundScan
* Labels only, no independent musicians
* Apple's not going to deal with 200 different lawyers -- all the
indies are being offered the same deal, take it or leave it.  (But it
seems to be a pretty good deal)
