One would think that this would deteriorate record labels profitability, but, in actuality, this has been boosting toplines and expanding margins for those labels savvy enough to evolve with the industry. Warner Music Group is one such beneficiary and just filed documentation to go public on Thursday February 6th, under the proposed ticker: WMG.
