EMI Pays Up
Pay for play doesn't play--or pay--in New York.
Such is the lesson learned by EMI Music North America, the last of the big four record companies forced to cough up big bucks to settle allegations of offering financial and other incentives to play the music of its artists, including the Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Gorillaz and Norah Jones.
EMI agreed to pay $3.75 million to a music-based charity to make New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer call off his dogs.
Spitzer says he went after EMI because it offered "financial benefits to obtain airplay and boost the chart position of its artists by bribing radio station employees with concert tickets, videogames and hotel and airfare expenses."
