Oeeeffff...
I just called the guy who has some inside information of Bertelsmann group and it seems that they were waiting for an EU approval for that deal.
That was agreed last week.
So it seems to be indeed that Bertelsmann officially has pulled out from Sony/bmg.
I guess it is shuffling artists from BMG labels to the Sony labels.
What it means? Dunno. Probably new management? Or the same moving to Sony too?
Time will tell I suppose.
But the Jive/Epic story I still don't buy till I've seen some evidence.
(and that is not some vague info from a French fan site that stays remarkable silent about it)
