It strikes me as hubris that Universal will buy EMI. What it will do is create a super-major that will have far too much power...

Commercial success still hasn't come to an artist that isn't signed to a record label. There are very few artists that can succeed without the help of a record label. The role of the record label is still required, it's still necessary.
