US investigates music industry.

Spitzer also puts music industry in a spin
ELIOT SPITZER, New York’s crusading attorney-general, has issued subpoenas to several top music companies, radio groups and independent music promoters, American sources said yesterday.

Sources at EMI, the leading British music firm, confirmed that the company had received a subpoena, which will compel executives to give evidence or surrender documents. Rivals, including Sony-Bertelsmann and Universal Music, are also likely to have been subpoenaed.

A Spitzer spokesman said the attorney-general’s team was collecting evidence about the relationship between music companies and radio groups.
