Merlin, the non-profit company setup to handle the rights of independent music labels, has succeeded in becoming the equivalent of the fifth largest record company with the success of just their first month of operation.
You may remember that we first discussed Merlin all the way back in January 2007, so this success has been a long time in the making for the international rights holder. For those who may not remember what exactly it is the company aims to do, it's a fairly easy idea: Merlin sees a strength in a centralized, concentrated voice for independent record labels when it comes to negotiating for rights.
