I have to say... (Score 1)

I've followed the historic revision of MP3.com for too long without comment. MP3.com could have been the prime mover for the democratization of artistic opportunity in the music business, rather than the poster child for litigious self destruction. There was an internal war between this idealistic stance and record industry "professionals", brought into the company soon after the initial funding and before the IPO. These people were Hell Bent on opposing any change or granting increased empowerment to the artist. They shorted the stock and backed litigation loving Michael at every ruinous decision that eventually destroyed not only a dream, but betrayed the investors who had no idea of what was really going on. It's been almost 10 years and I am still sick over this... BTW, I was hired in December, 1998 as the 7th employee of MP3.com. I was there for everything until shortly before the BK and liquidation.
