Nonetheless, Armstrong isn't putting in a call to UMG to downplay rather than push AOL on RR. It sounds like a massive conflict of interest to me. At the heart of this is the assumption that RR pointing out that you can get AOL for $9.95 is in someway bad for ATHM or somehow a conflict because AOL and ATHM are mortal enemies. The reality is not that simple. AOL is the single most popular site on the web and @home provides web access as its reason for existence. AOL and ATHM are in reality perfect partners who simply cant agree on on a price. What do you say about ATHM giving AOL away for free till the end of the year? Is that a conflict of interest too? Eric
