US music star Kid Rock is refusing to put his albums on iTunes because he says artists do not get paid enough for downloads from the Apple store. Kid Rock is one of the last few acts not fully signed up to the service. He said it was based on "an old system, where iTunes takes the money, the record company takes the money, and they don't give it to the artists". His latest album Rock 'n' Roll Jesus went to number one in the US last year, despite being absent from iTunes. The Beatles, Garth Brooks and AC/DC are the only other major stars who have still not made their music available on iTunes.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7459796.stm
