to talk about the state of the music industry, BMG’s bid for more music assets, and the company’s doctrine of leveraging fairness to artists as a scarce commodity in a fast-changing business.

If the label system isn’t ideal for artists, why do so many who publicly criticize their labels stay or re-sign instead of going independent? As you sit between the majors and an independent route, what offering do you bring, particularly as services become a major selling point for artists? Have you considered an IPO given the lofty valuations of companies like UMG and WMG after they went public?
