Universal Music Group (UMG) is the largest business group and family of record labels in the recording industry. It is the largest of the "big four" record companies by its commanding market share and its multitude of global operations. Universal Music Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of international French media conglomerate Vivendi.
Seems like Tommy is up to his old Sony tricks: In May 2006, an investigation led by then New York attorney general, Eliot Spitzer, concluded with a determination that Universal Music Group bribed radio stations to play songs from Ashlee Simpson, Brian McKnight, Big Tymers, Nick Lachey, Lindsay Lohan and other performers under Universal labels. The company paid $12 million to the state in settlement. Interesting read on 2007 activities here. Seems they are using the same tactics as Sony is now in regard to Michael’s music that they don’t even legally own yet.
Tommy is currently building a new entertainment company. If you are interested , reference here.
I'm a lamb so anything Tommy is kinda fishy, but a live video of Michael calling him a devil really intrigued me:
What is your tea about the whole Tommy Mottola fiasco with Mariah and the payola and Michael Jackson?
