$6 M / $80 M = 7.5% (Score 5, Insightful)

In order to maintain the income that the CD-Burning unit provided you would only have to make 7.5% off the $80M. I'd propose that there many less risky ways to see 7.5% off $80M then trying to maintaining the profitability of 2nd rate CD-Burning software. I don't think Roxio products will ever see another $80M in profit. I'd question whoever was willing to pay $80M for a company that only makes $6M profit / year. As for focusing on Napster, it's a recognized brand and the online music market is big now and is growing.
