The day Steve Jobs dissed me in a keynote (2010)

# Summary In 2003, Steve Jobs personally pitched the newly launched iTunes Music Store to independent music distributors, including CD Baby, promising to carry "every piece of music ever recorded" regardless of commercial viability. After the meeting, the author publicly shared his notes online but was forced to remove them following Apple's legal threat, despite no confidentiality agreement being established. CD Baby signed iTunes' contract and began the laborious process of uploading over 100,000 albums using Apple's required software, charging artists $40 per album to cover operational costs.
