I don't understand the music industry well, so does anyone know synergies are being created as a result of this merger?

Holy shit. That will make Sony the biggest player in music publishing worldwide.

That gives them between 25-30% of the global music publishing market.

wel aslong as it helps profit wise, then i'm sure it's a good thing. were's Rol and Badge?

I dunno man..I'm sure we are missing something here than can be used to doom them..but never fear I expect some great journalism to find such things and make excellent articles within hours!

placebo kicks ass.

They must have a large catalogue of musicians soon to die.

The music business like the Playstation division are making money so they are strengthen it.

looks like $ony is determined to bring most of the music industry with them when they go under

Well they can used this rights for the songs in there movies, there games ( Singstar, Little Big Planet) they can sell the rights. Good choice in my opinion.

That is actually a pretty clever move. Good job Kaz and good luck!
