Wikileaks: Sony hacked emails "local repertoire to be eliminated"

"Internationally, most local repertoire will probably have to be eliminated. The record company will want to sell off the local repertoire or spin out the local labels and focus on English language repertoire globally, unless there is some country that has managed to be profitable on its local repertoire (i.e.Japan). This is a huge part of the cost base with very little value. Digital distributors do not need local new release labels to work with as they are all regional or global players. International local publishing repertoire will need to be evaluated but much of that cost and infrastructure shouldn’t continue either."

That kinda sucks for all the Sony Latino workers in the US and South America.

My God, That Email after it says Best Dave, is unbelievable. They are looking to no longer introduce "big hits" but instead introduce songs that will sell long term. So don't worry guys Gaga will have a career in music for a long time. Her songs tend to be long term sellers.

But Spain is a huge Market. Enrique Igesias, David Bisbal and their music stars sell as much and stream as much as ours do here. I doubt they will close Spain. David Bisbal literally puts out records that sell a million copies in just Spain.

Can someone explain what happened in a brief description?
