Apple redefined the way people purchase music and netted boatloads of money in the process, so it only makes sense that they would want to do the same thing for all kinds of media, including the TV shows you watch.

Dont ask me how much music fits in a boat; just know that its a lot. Want a more definitive amount? How about this: one in four songs sold in America is sold on iTunes. The Apple powerhouse continues to beat out Walmart, including Walmarts CD sales in store and on their website, as well as Walmart Music Downloads. With all that, Walm...
