Online music distributor TuneCore's president, Jeff Price, claims Apple's iTunes Match service is generating royalties for copyright holders "out of thin air" from both legal and pirated music. Price says his firm made USD10,000 just two months after signing up to Apple's cloud-based music service. iTunes Match scans a user's music catalogue for song files and matches them to corresponding iTunes tracks, making them available to stream or download from the cloud for USD25 per month. He says that copyright holders get paid more, every time a track is streamed or downloaded, regardless of whether the song may have been obtained illegally.
