	USATODAY.com - Lyor Cohen to head Warner Music Group (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		He will become one of the top music executives in the world at a time when the industry is facing significant restructuring and cost-cutting challenges in the face of declining sales and music downloading.
		Although Island Def Jam's roster ranges from the multiplatinum Nickelback to critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, its greatest strength has been its rap and urban music divisions, which Cohen is credited with boosting.
		But the deal could eventually cost Island Def Jam millions; last year, independent label TVT records won a $132 million judgment, later reduced to $53 million, against the record company and Cohen in a dispute over previously recorded music by Ja Rule.
