Well what if Roxio sees a bigger profit picking up Napster, burning it to the ground, and help apple get even bigger with iTunes (Napster looks like they are ~10% revenue of itunes). They own shares of sonicblue (which to my knowledge are in the competitive market of music hardware) and apple will probably continue to use roxio/sonicblue software. Then with the IMPACT thing coming up apple will have a legit excuse to burn and have roxio/sonicblue burning software built into itunes.
