woes extend to digital sales
June 17th, 2009 | Author: J. Gee
The struggling music units of Sony Corp. and Bertelsmann AG merged in 2004 so that a combined company could better fend off illegal file sharing and shrinking CD sales.
The new recording company, named Sony BMG, was expected to wield the kind of resources that could challenge Universal Music Group as the largest of the four top labels. Sony BMG would own a chunk of U.S. music sales almost as big as Universal's.
To say the deal failed to deliver on the promise is probably an understatement. More than four years after the merger, there isn't
a more troubled major label around.
In fairness, Sony is trying to regroup after buying out Bertelsmann late last year. It remains the second-largest recording company and currently has the No. 1 album in the country:
Bruce Springsteen's Working on a Dream. Sony Music could also become the first major to renew its music licensing agreement with YouTube, according to sources close to the deal. For the recording industry, YouTube represents a potential new market.

CD's are slowly fading away...
