Submission + - EMI says Copyrights more valuable than Music (economist.com)
vampire_baozi writes: An article and the Economist notes that EMI is reshuffling its top management, and the new head honcho is coming with a new mission: "http://www.emimusic.com/news/2010/emi-to-reposition-itself-as-a-comprehensive-rights-management-company-serving-artists-and-songwriters-worldwide/reposition itself as a comprehensive rights-management company serving artists and songwriters worldwide. Rough translation: owning and exploiting the copyright to songs, rather than selling recordings of songs, is where the money’s going to be from now on." Guess this means the war is over, the lawyers won, and future battles will be very expensive.
