In reply to QueenOfTheNavy.

still not sure what i think about the merger though, i dont trust monopoly’s, i think emi should split itself even further and sell some of its shares to Warner, at least then we’d have a fair system.

I agree with this statement.
The merger will also make it more difficult for new artists to get a record deal and more difficult for those who which to work in the industry to get a job. A bad deal all round (except for Universal of course).
