Labels are (Vertically) Dis-Integrating (As Well They Should)
Record labels continue to vertically disintegrate. The news that Universal Music Group is selling their CD & DVD manufacturing & distribution operations to an Atlanta-based tech company got lost in all the hubbub last week. This combined with the labels' moves to make music videos & master tones into profit centers means they're vertically dis-integrating from non core competencies, and, instead, horizontally integrating/expanding. Good. That's what they need to do. As others have argued, vertical integration doesn't work anymore.
