Yes, but what's the over/under on how long either of them stay? Seems a bit like Michael Ovitz at Disney: he lasted a year.

What if they were given an opportunity and the complete responsibility to build a record label under Apple?

Total end-to-end control of music from creation to consumer listening.

Of course we can keep playing the what-if game, but I think there's a bit more to this deal than meets the eye.
