Hard to say, but I did notice one interesting fact.  Roger and Pete have 
different opinions on bootlegging, and that may have something to do with 
it.  I'm sure the difference is based on the royalty structure.  Pete said 
that he's made tons of money in the last few years (presumably from sale of 
music for soundtracks and such) and that he's willing to wait and see what 
happens with the new technology.  Roger, on the other hand, complained about 
Napster and how bootlegging hurts the artist, because his musical income 
derives more from cd sales.  I don't expect that Roger is anti-tech in 
general, but more like making a statement against bootlegging.
