Not only should you boycott the music operations of Vivendi Universal, but you should also boycott MP3.com and EMusic.com. After Vivendi won $53 million in the
case against MP3.com (thereby weakening them), it then used the money to buy MP3.com and EMusic.com, giving them the two most valuable and viable digital music
properties on the net. With a controlling stake of 40% of the record industry, Vivendi Universal is like the General Motors of the music business.
