The Rolling Stones have started up a deal with RealNetworks Inc., and now wild horses couldn't drag Mick and Keith from cyberspace. RealNetworks' Rhapsody online music service will offer the Stones' post-1970 catalog for download, including classic albums like "Sticky Fingers," "Exile on Main Street" and "Some Girls." But don't expect any "Satisfaction." There are some legal kinks to straighten out with the Stones' earlier stuff before it's available.
