The Apple Beat: Celebrating a decade of iTunes

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

The music download service was revealed in 2003 as a legal and secure way to download music (later on movies and TV shows). iTunes put technology at the disposal of music fans but it also allowed for artists to profit from their music in the post-Napster era. For record labels and distributors, iTunes became a way to break new talent as well as cash-in on artists' back catalog of songs.
