Comments on: EMI Music Group Sues Citigroup http://deconstructingpopculture.com/2009/12/current-travails-of-emi-music-group/ Tue, 18 May 2010 11:37:50 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Mark Jackson http://deconstructingpopculture.com/2009/12/current-travails-of-emi-music-group/comment-page-1/#comment-27 Mark Jackson Tue, 15 Dec 2009 01:28:20 +0000 http://deconstructingpopculture.com/?p=270#comment-27 A good summary of a pitiable history, though I would posit that the SBK Publishing deal was a good one (unlike the SBK Records acquisition) . The amount of stockholders' money wasted on all the other acquisitions to which David refers is absolutely staggering. And I agree that the current lawsuit is a non-starter. Future business school students will have a very interesting time doing case studies of the death of packaged recorded music and how the major music companies could have handled it better.
