Big Music Firms Dealt a Legal Blow

Global musics companies are suspected of colluding over prices set for online music serives.

"Judge Marilyn Hall Patel, of the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, found that two of the four big music companies, Vivendi Universal SA's Universal Music Group and EMI Group PLC, deliberately misled federal investigators by obscuring the degree
