And note this interview with Rosen from Wired. Reading between the lines, it seems that Rosen may have been deliberately employed as a lightning rod for criticism, allowing the RIAA to employ scorched-earth take-no-prisoners tactics and then quietly part ways with the most visible symbol of those tactics.

All rumor and speculation, of course, but the interview is an interesting read.
