No Rock And Roll Fun

"OH DEAR, I SEEM TO HAVE LEFT THIS LARGE SUITCASE OF MONEY ON YOUR DESK": That's not what's going to happen when the heads of Sony and BMG meet EU competition commissioner Mario Monti - they'll be using the opportunity to explain just why having a megalithic united SonyBMG wouldn't crush the life out of other, smaller record companies. Of course. They also won't be picking up photos off of Monti's desk and saying "This your partner? Very pretty. Wouldn't it be awful if something happened to them?" Just running a couple of Powerpoint presentations and presenting some figures. That's the plan.
