Ad-supported music download service SpiralFrog fired its CEO, ex Universal McCann CEO Robin Kent, and possibly other management team members this week, according to a research note published by Music Ally. In the memo sent to clients, Music Ally also noted that the originally planned December launch has been delayed until some time in the first half of 2007. SpiralFrog made waves in the digital music space last August when it announced it would provide consumers with free downloads of tracks laden with heavy digital rights management restrictions from several major labels and publishers.
