As usual, the TV networks just don't get it. As with the news over the last few days of NBC and Apple's fight over the price of TV shows -- first with reports that NBC split with Apple, followed by Apple's testy response that it would no longer stock NBC shows -- But's here's the amazing part... NBC wants people to pay $5 to download its shows for their iPods, iPhones, and Apple TVs. That's right, five-dollar TV shows. Right now, TV shows on iTunes currently go for $1.99. But $5! That kind of price can only be motivated by pure greed. iTunes is a not yet a fully mature market. Apple has sold more than 50 million shows through iTunes, generating a ton of money for NBC -- but upping the price of all NBC shows to $5 would surely be self defeating. Don't they realize that people can also go to file-sharing networks like Bittorrent and get tons of stuff for free? Like I said... The networks just don't get it.

How about $10?
