  • EMI Case Study
    AS media studies THE MUSIC INDUSTRY - Example Case Study EMI is a major British, independent, leading, global music company. It produces and distributes music throughout the world with artists such as Coldplay and The Verve on its books. It is considered one of the big four record companies. It employs around 5,500 people and operates in 50 countries. Financially it is a world player with revenue in 2007 of over £1,751 million and profits of over £62 million. The EMI group comprises over 100 recording labels. It is the second-largest global music publisher (i.e. music scores). There are two main sides to the music business recorded music and music publishing. The recorded music division signs bands, manages bands and makes records – CDs and downloads. The music publishing division (based in New York) collects royalties every time their songs are played on radio, television, video games, films, ring tones and advertisements. The royalties are small but they all mount up to be a profitable business. EMI has the rights to the published songs by Amy Whitehouse, Arctic Monkeys, Duffy, and Jay-Z as well as perennial favourites like Over the Rainbow. This arm of the business is so successful that it is said to be worth 80% of the value of the company. EMI publishing owns or manages 1.3 million copyrights. EMI is a vertically integrated company because it creates music to sell on CD and as downloads on the internet, and it publishes the songs, lyrics and music of many of its own artists and many more artists.

    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA x UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, : : Petitioner, : Misc. Action No. 94-338 (HHG) : v. : : Time Warner, Inc., : Sony Corporation of America, : PolyGram Holding, Inc., : EMI Music, : Bertelsmann, Inc., and : MCA, Inc., : : Respondents. : x RESPONDENT EMI MUSIC INC.'S MEMORANDUM IN OPPOSITION TO PETITION TO ENFORCE CIVIL INVESTIGATIVE DEMANDS Preliminary Statement EMI MUSIC INC. ("EMI") submits this memorandum in opposition to the United States' Petition to Enforce Civil Investigative Demands. EMI opposes the enforcement of Civil Investigative Demand No. 11115 (the "CID") on the grounds that (1) the Department of Justice (the "Department") lacks jurisdiction to investigate the foreign activities of EMI and its affiliates; (2) the Department has sufficient information about the activities of EMI and its affiliates and is still unable to articulate any facts that would support a finding that it has jurisdiction to investigate; and (3) under the circumstance it would be unreasonable to impose upon EMI the obligation of producing additional information relating to foreign activities when EMI and its parent already have provided the Department with significant information. INTRODUCTION EMI expressly adopts and incorporates herein the Memorandum in Opposition to the Petition submitted by Respondents Time Warner, Inc., Sony Corporation of America and Bertelsmann, Inc. and the Memorandum in Opposition to the Petition submitted by Polygram Holding, Inc. While EMI joins in the arguments made by the other Respondents, it submits this memorandum to address the jurisdictional issue as it affects EMI and its affiliates as well as the burdensome nature of the CID as it now applies to EMI.

  • Suing the Beatles and Others: Perils and Precedents of Celebrity Lawsuits Presented to the Sxsw Conference Cle Program March
    1 SUING THE BEATLES AND OTHERS: PERILS AND PRECEDENTS OF CELEBRITY LAWSUITS PRESENTED TO THE SXSW CONFERENCE CLE PROGRAM MARCH 2016 BY STAN SOOCHER, ESQ. Denver, Colorado Editor-in-Chief, Entertainment Law & Finance Author, Baby You’re a Rich Man: Suing The Beatles for Fun & Profit Associate Professor, Music & Entertainment Industry Studies University of Colorado Denver Campus Box 162, P.O. Box 173364 Denver, CO 80217-3364 303-556-4066 [email protected] www.stansoocher.com Celebrities, with deep pockets and media spotlights, are natural lightning rods for litigation. The Beatles were a prime example of artists suing and being sued. The band’s most important legacy, of course, was their music, and influence on cultural and sociological changes. But few celebrities encountered as many legal disputes as did the Beatles. Many of the legal issues the Beatles faced were forerunners for today’s music industry. From early issues with crowd control as Beatlemania took hold in the United Kingdom in 1963 and the United States in 1964, to disputes over merchandising, management, intra-band rights, sound recordings, music publishing, copyright infringement, immigration, taxes and more, the Beatles faced—and continued to face long after they broke up—an array of issues that reflected where the music industry was headed. My recent book Baby You’re a Rich Man: Suing The Beatles for Fun & Profit (ForeEdge/University Press of New England) takes a close-up, investigative look at some of these concerns, as did a chapter from a prior book I wrote, They Fought the Law: Rock Music Goes to Court, that focused on the Beatles’ long-running music royalty battle with Capitol-EMI Records.
