but, as I understand it, the labels sold the files to Apple in full (CD) resolution and *Apple* threw out the "extra" bits. I see no reason whatsoever that Pono, HDT, et al. should charge *more* for 16/44 than Apple charges for mp3.

I do NOT know this for sure, but I was under the impression iTunes did not do any conversions, meaning they receive "mastered for iTunes" files already in AAC, and not the master files.
If somebody knows for sure that would interesting.
Say what you want about apple, but the fact hey convinced people to pay 10-12 bucks for lossy slop is skillful marketing.
In the end it is not who did what, not even who payed whom to do what. In the end it's what's in the contract, since this is all intellectual property rights, not material goods.
