The age of the internet as brought together the war Apple vs Napster of downloading music. They have both been changing thier products to fit legal need and customers needs. Both companys are trying to reach a global market and persuade consumers to download from them. Napster's organization has taking the back seat to Apple after many legal issues. Also Apples does alot more advertising to certain markets like sponsoring computer and sporting events

I think that coke and pepsi have dominated their market by selling drinks for all types of people. They tailor their product to fit any one persons need. From the average soft drink to sports drinks and even energy drinks.

Also they want to be more American so they have done things such as making one of the best trucks in America and also they have joined NASCAR.
