More food for thought; Question:What if their 250,000 titles for sale is little more than an embedded frame linked to CDNW's site, and KTEL just gets a little bitty piece of the action as an "internet finders fee" or "transaction originators fee"?
Keep in mind, too, that every CD sold via the 'net is one less CD that distributor's sell by their conventional distribution channels. IMHO, the 'net does NOT increase demand or stimulate sales for this type of product; it just steals the sale from some other medium, and it appears that they ARE part of the other medium.
Good luck to all.

"I wish I worked for a large consulting firm which developed web sites for businesses. Just before rollout on any new site I would purchase their stock and sell it a couple of months later."

Think about this for a minute.. do you think there is any way to tell by the performance of the stock over the last *year* that the people who were actually involved in this website may have either picked up or sold some shares? Somebody knows what this website looks like... it seems like with such low volumes, there would be a steady rise upward as the insiders gained confidence in their company.

Any thoughts?

P.S. why the hell does the word website fail the spell checker?!?!?!
