Business Week Smash Puny Music Rumor!

Business Week apparently read the Financial Times' story on Apple Considering All-You-Can-Eat Music Subscriptions, cleared its throat, and allowed itself to retort:

[N]o such talks are under way, according to people familiar with Apple's plans. An Apple spokesperson declined to comment. Insiders at major music labels were similarly dismissive. One person familiar with the matter said the idea of subscription plan has been "kicked around" for about a year, but said there have been "no meaningful discussions" on the subject.

Of course, Apple was also never planning a phone or a tablet or a video iPod either...
