There’s nothing wrong with enjoying success right? Sony’s Howard Stringer says that CEO Steve Jobs is "greedy" concerning Jobs’ comments about record industry execs being greedy with music downloads.

Sony’s CEO Howard Stringer had a few choice words for Apple CEO Steve Jobs last Thursday, calling Jobs “greedy” because he wants a world where only he makes money, the New York Post reports. Stringer was part of a panel that included Barry Diller of IAC, Jeff Bezos of Amazon, and Sergey Brin of Google.

Stringer made the comment in response to Jobs’ own comments on record industry executives being greedy over the price of music downloads. Moderator Anderson Cooper tried to change the subject, but Diller interjected, repeating the Sony CEO’s comments. When Cooper went back to Stringer to elaborate, he reportedly played down his earlier comments.

Does Sony deserve to make these comments considering their position in the marketplace.

    Pot calling the kettle black.

    Hey, isn’t our capitalistic society and economy based on the principle of greed? Maybe Jobs should pull a McCarthy and accuse Stringer of being a Communist.

    Agreed. Sony is crying sour grapes because their own online music model failed miserably especially when compared with Apple’s success.

    Oh boo who, cry me a river.
