Music-related stocks took some of the hardest hits: InterTrust Technologies fell 23% to $32.68; Liquid Audio fell 15% to $11.25; MP3.com fell 14% to $18; RealNetworks fell 9% to $51.43; ARTISTdirect fell 8% to $6.96; and EMusic fell 5% to $6.
There was no confirmation to the rumors that the stock drop was related to a Microsoft suicide pact.
Musicmaker.com closed unchanged at $4.75, perhaps in part to its announcement yesterday of the opening of a new 31,000-square-foot facility for technology, production/fulfillment, and administration.
Interestingly, the recently beleaguered CDNow was among the few bright spots, closing up 3% at $3.90.
