The Null Device

All your back-catalogue are belong to us: A grim day for independent music labels, as recording-racket giant Universal buys EMusic, gaining control of the catalogues of many independent labels signed to the service. Thus the Big Five hegemony over the means of music distribution grows stronger as another alternative is subsumed. (AtomicPop, which sold MP3s from a number of labels, including 4AD, seems to have folded some time earlier.)
