Universal buys EMI

Saw on the news tonight that Universal has bought EMI for a bucket load.

The interesting issue with this is that EMI hold the music rights to The Beatles amongst others. I wonder if the ban on Beatles clips being shown will now be lifted by the new owners?

Re: Universal buys EMI

This Beatles ban thing is interesting. There is a show on Foxtel called Jukebox Saturday Night and they play Beatles clips all the time. I emailed the producer asking about why they can play their clips and just about everyone else can't, but as yet have not had a reply.

Re: Universal buys EMI

So that must mean there are about... 2 major record labels left?

Here's some more news on this.
