The buzz/concern about the merger is semi-premature. Universal will be fighting for years in order to pass regulatory in the EU. IMPALA, who tied up the Sony/BMG merger for 3 years, is dead set on blocking the UNI/EMI merger: http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storyco...

Who knows what the industry will look like in 3 years. UNI might even decide to bail on the deal by then.
