Thanks for the update on MySpace and their music approach. You classify this topic as Corporate & legal... does Holt hold a law degree as well? Varying degrees? Or is he from a Grass Roots kind of college?

Hopefully, he will have the desire to push the envelope with the technology that is already available. I?d love see Myspace Music actually innovate the music industry for real. First, as anyone that has seen CNN.com Live knows, internet video streams are like watching television now. Myspace Music has a real opportunity to become a global streaming version of MTV. I?d love to see a weekly live music program with an in-studio audience, a global streaming version of the Myspace Music Awards (similar to the MTV music awards but worldwide), and other content that will engage. What artist wouldn?t want to play to Myspace Music?s global audience of 160,000,000. Imagine debuting a new CD that way. And since it?s the web, the audience could push one button below the live video streams and have access to every song the artist ever did. It would be a live version of a point of purchase display that reaches 160,000,000. Now that?s what I call revolutionary. Thank you!
