" Both Pepsi and McDonald's are paying Apple's retail price of 99 cents per song, sources say. And McDonald's has arranged to buy up to a billion songs to meet customer demand."

That's some nice extra revenue, even if reality pushes the number down to, say, 300 million. that's amazing that they're paying full price, AND paying marketing. it's almost like, McD's and Pepsi are acting like Apple is a stronger trademark to capitalize on. or, at least, that iTunes/online music offers them some special benefits. Damn.
