Sony Music and BMG To Merge

[Bernie]

Just heard on the news that Sony Music (Columbia, Epic...) is looking to merge with BMG (RCA Records...). Deal pending approval from US and European governments. If it keeps going like this we will end up with only three major labels.

I just heard this too Bernie. I think it sucks.
I know you prefer not to be political but everything is. Anyway, I am hoping the EU shuts this merger idea down. With the current situation in the US, I expect our Justice Department to look the other way.
