Recording giant EMI said Wednesday it is outsourcing its CD and DVD
operations in Europe and the United States, cutting 1,500 jobs, and is
reducing its artist roster by 20 percent.
The company didn't identify which performers would be cut, but said they
are "niche and underperforming artists" mainly in continental Europe.

Another step on the road to each major releasing just 5 CDs per year,
each of which will sell 87 kajillion copies, providing gainful employment
to a grand total of 25 artists and bringing even more homogeneity to the
airwaves and tastes of a generation . . .
