I hate to be the one to ask WWJD... ...but if he wanted streaming deals he would have made it happen, even if he had to break the law a bit and extort/threaten music labels. He would never have bought a company for a name. This Beats purchase appears to me as a weakening of Apple post-Jobs. In this day Apple needs streaming more than it needs iTunes sales, but they weren't able to get rights because the labels didn't want to sacrifice iTunes sales; the labels are short-sighted and conservative like always. Apple was not able to convince the labels so they had to buy the streaming licenses instead.
