Eddy Cue

Eddy Cue:
Terrific profile of Eddy Cue by Greg Sandoval at CNet:

Cue built even more credibility by not trying to hide Apple’s
intentions. In 2004, Cue stated very clearly that Apple was
interested in selling media as a means to sell gadgets. “There’s a
better margin in iPods than in the record business,” Cue told the
trade journal Music Week.

“He wasn’t altruistic, certainly,” said Chris Castle, an attorney
who has worked with music-tech companies for years and has
negotiated with Cue. “He had an agenda, of course. My impression
was that he was very clearly about Apple’s interest, but it was
clear he also wanted to be fair. Apple never tried to steal music
like many of these other guys. They cared about content It was
never about what they could get away with. With Eddy you felt you
had a fair hearing.”
