Martin Mills despises deal

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Breathtaking corporate arrogance is the phrase that comes to mind. It's hard to imagine this acquisition being approved, given Universal's existing dominance in an over-concentrated market. Even greater dominance would be bad news for almost everyone involved in the art and business of music." —Beggars Group Chairman Martin Mills, voicing IMPALA’s attitude toward UMG’s acquisition of EMI, quoted by songwriter Helienne Lindvall in her Guardian blog Behind the Music.
