I wouldn't write them off. The Universal Music Group is the only Big 5 recording company that made a profit lately, and looks likely to be around for a while (unless Vivendi bleeds it dry, Festival-style, of course). And they're not very nice people, even by recording racket standards.
Bronfman used to be a songwriter? I thought as a third generation Jewish gangster and extortionist, whiskey baron and head of the international Jewish terror organisation (otherwise known as the World Jewish Congress) he wouldn't have found time.
