Vivendi to Sell Half Its Share in Universal Music

[humprof]

There were rumblings of something like this earlier in the year:

With all the talk of finding "strategic partners," I wouldn't expect people who actually care about music to take charge of this music company any time soon.

I'm sure it won't include the Beatles' catalogue but you're right, humprof, if the Chinese or some other 'strategic partner' buy the other half maximum profit will be the motivation and the music itself will suffer in translation. Waaayyyyy too many cooks [crooks?] will spoil this broth for sure.
