MiJac Catalog Moving To Sony/ATV

(16-2-2011) Roger Friedman posted the following in his column, Showbiz 411
today:
Exclusive: Michael Jackson, even in death, remains in the middle of the
current musical chairs deals in the declining record industry.
麥可傑克森就算過世了 仍是在逐漸衰弱的唱片工業交易中占有重要地位
For all these years, Michael’s MiJac Publishing has been administered by
Warner Chappell, part of what is now Warner Music Group. MiJac includes not
only Michael’s hits that he wrote, like “Billie Jean” and “Beat It,” but
a vast number of other hits including those of Ray Charles, Curtis Mayfield,
and Sly and the Family Stone.
過去數年 MJ的歌曲版權MiJac Publishing一直接受華納子公司Warner Chappell的管理
包括不只他最有名的歌曲Billie Jean和Beat It同時還有包括Ray Charles,
Curtis Mayfield, Sly和Family Stone的歌曲
Warner Chappell doesn’t own MiJac but it administers the rights to it and
collects hefty fees. With WMG for sale, and talk of Warner Chappell being
sold off, MiJac would seem like an integral part of their story.
Warner Chappell並不擁有MiJac但是他有管理權 並且從中抽取高額佣金 最近很多傳言
Warner Chappell將被出售 MiJac似乎也包括在談論範圍
But there’s a hitch that I can reveal to you: MiJac is leaving Warner
Chappell and going to become part of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, the company
that Michael Jackson’s estate co-owns with Sony and contains the Beatles
catalog.
但是事實上是MiJac將會拖離Warner Chappell並且變為SONY/ATV的一部分 而MJ遺產公司
和SONY是共同的老闆
According to sources, this arrangement was written into the MiJac contract
with Warner Chappell years ago. It would be triggered by the release of the
next Jackson album–in this case, the recent “Michael”–and the repayment
of loans.
在多年前MiJac和Warner Chappell的合約有寫到 在MJ下一張專輯發行後(也就是Michael
這張專輯) 再加上債務償還完後 MiJac將脫離Warner Chappell
The move by MiJac to Sony/ATV is a big deal for many reasons. With both WMG
and EMI Music for sale, Sony/ATV could be kicking the tires of each company’
s publishing divisions for purchase. But Warner Chappell might be less
interesting to Sony ATV considering they’re already getting Mi Jac. And
without MiJac, Warner Chappell–which just had a down quarter–might not look
so good to other potential buyers.
MiJac轉移到SONY/ATV會是個重要的交易 華納音樂和EMI都將被賣出 SONY/ATV兩者
都可考慮購買 但是在SONY/ATV有了MiJac的版權之後 Warner Chappell的吸引力就低了
很多 而Warner Chappell在少了MiJac之後價值可能在其他潛在購買者演中更低
What may happen now: the newer, and very hot, BMG Music Rights will likely
make a play for EMI Music Publishing. EMI Music–the record company, which
has the Beatles albums in its catalog–the physical albums and box sets–
could then be merged with another record company like Sony Music or, more
horrifyingly, Warner Music. Stay tuned.
BMG版權公司或許會想購買EMI的版權庫 EMI唱片擁有披頭四專輯的版權 包括實體專輯
和盒裝發行可能會和其他唱片公司合併 有可能是SONY 或是更恐怖的華納音樂
