Michael Robertson — founder of controversial MP3.com, along with such firms as SIPphone and Linspire (formerly Lindows) — has a new, and again controversial, quest–rallying against sending students to college. Robertson details his bone against going to college in a post on why he believes not everyone should go to college.

Robertson is no stranger to controversy. MP3.com’s entire premise — allowing the download of MP3 files — resulted in a major legal tussle with the RIAA, which eventually killed the firm. His firm Lindows (now Linspire)  was in a protracted struggle with Microsoft over the name of the company. AnywhereCD, a venture to sell both MP3 and physical copies of CD albums, was embroiled in a lawsuit with Warner Bros. over AnywhereCD’s interpretation of its license with the music studio.
