Do your homework *better* from history lessons online. You can find the seed of music-on-demand and its surviving founder still in business after 18 years in R&D. Let's see how long other media-brokered chiefs can last that long, at least those who hold a legitimate Music Industry degree with a focus on engineering and business that is.

He is leaving because the company isn't growing it's market share because nobody is buying MP3's or subscriptions to MP3's

eMusic will get bought up in a fire-sale ala Napster.
