Yes I will also blog about EMI cause blogs give insights of what can happen with news. Reuters just provides the news with a tiny tiny line at the end stating: Analysts at UBS said any move to reduce the funding to trade bodies could hamper the industry's efforts to fight piracy and protect music copyright.

So here we go: EMI is likely to stop supporting anti-piracy *sputter* organisations as IFPI and RIAA. I want to compare this with a Hokey game I play (on a gameconsole that is).
If you are lets say 30 seconds before the end of the game one goal behind, Hokey teams are likely to pull their goaly. Why? they have an extra attacker to score the game-tying goal. However, lose the puck and you'll be most probably down by two goals: your net is unprotected.
EMI is falling (read: does not want to find other solutions to stay big), and is desperatly seeking the game tying goal. For this year. They cannot spend much more money cause they have shareholders and a whole bunch of other people that can't be patient and take their loss for a few years. You can lose the game, you won't lose the season. OK, spending billions on these organisations is quite not helping out because I can get the all EMI releases of the last 6 months in a day on my Mp3 player, still.
You choose, lose the game or try to make something of the season in other games.
