Contexte :<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • En d\u00e9cembre, Virgin Music Group d’UMG<\/strong> a annonc\u00e9 qu’elle avait accept\u00e9 d’acheter Downtown Music Holdings LLC dans le cadre d’un accord de 775 millions de dollars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • La Commission europ\u00e9enne m\u00e8ne actuellement la Phase I d’une enqu\u00eate sur l’accord, qui d\u00e9terminera si une enqu\u00eate plus approfondie (Phase II) est n\u00e9cessaire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Le d\u00e9lai pour cette d\u00e9cision est le 22 juillet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • La semaine derni\u00e8re, les co-PDG de Virgin Nat Pastor<\/strong> et JT Myers<\/strong> ont \u00e9crit au personnel, corrigeant certaines \u00ab fictions et contrev\u00e9rit\u00e9s \u00bb per\u00e7ues autour de l’accord.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    La lettre :<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Sign\u00e9e par plus de 200 PDG, fondateurs et dirigeants d’entreprises du secteur ind\u00e9pendant de la musique, la lettre souligne le fait qu’\u00ab UMG contr\u00f4le d\u00e9j\u00e0 plus de 40% du march\u00e9 de la musique enregistr\u00e9e \u00bb en Europe.<\/p>\n\n

    <\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n

    Elle soul\u00e8ve \u00e9galement des pr\u00e9occupations importantes selon lesquelles l’acquisition menacerait la concurrence effective, l’innovation et la croissance de l’industrie musicale de l’UE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Elle d\u00e9clare : \u00ab En absorbant les capacit\u00e9s de distribution, de comptabilit\u00e9 des royalties et de gestion des droits de Downtown \u2014 des services utilis\u00e9s par des milliers d’entreprises et d’artistes du secteur ind\u00e9pendant \u2014 UMG consoliderait encore son pouvoir de march\u00e9 d\u00e9j\u00e0 important. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Elle ajoute : \u00ab Cette consolidation permettrait \u00e0 UMG d’agir davantage en tant que gardien d’acc\u00e8s \u00e0 certains des meilleurs services du secteur, fa\u00e7onnant la musique qui est entendue, promue et mon\u00e9tis\u00e9e. Un tel pouvoir comporte des risques non seulement pour la fortune commerciale des entreprises ind\u00e9pendantes, mais aussi pour la richesse cr\u00e9ative et la diversit\u00e9 de la musique elle-m\u00eame. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Aussi : \u00ab [L’accord] r\u00e9duirait le choix pour les consommateurs, \u00e9toufferait l’exp\u00e9rimentation et affaiblirait le r\u00f4le de l’Europe en tant qu’incubateur vibrant d’expression musicale et artistique. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Les signataires incluent des repr\u00e9sentants de Beggars Group<\/strong>, Secretly Group<\/strong>, Cargo Independent Distribution<\/strong>, Cooking Vinyl<\/strong>, Domino<\/strong>, Epitaph<\/strong>, Sub Pop<\/strong>, Playground<\/strong> et d’autres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    La lettre compl\u00e8te se trouve ci-dessous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4 juillet 2025<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ch\u00e8re Mme Ribera,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nous sommes les fondateurs et PDG de grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s musicales europ\u00e9ennes et internationales, ainsi que d’associations professionnelles. Nous \u00e9crivons normalement sur la musique et la culture, et aujourd’hui nous nous adressons \u00e9galement \u00e0 vous sur la concurrence.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Au nom de la communaut\u00e9 musicale ind\u00e9pendante, nous vous \u00e9crivons pour exprimer nos graves pr\u00e9occupations concernant l’acquisition propos\u00e9e de Downtown Music Holdings LLC (\u00ab Downtown \u00bb) par Universal Music Group N.V. (\u00ab UMG \u00bb), actuellement en cours d’enqu\u00eate par la Commission europ\u00e9enne \u2014 Affaire M.11956.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    L’industrie musicale dans l’UE est une histoire de r\u00e9ussite culturelle et \u00e9conomique, avec des revenus de musique enregistr\u00e9e augmentant de 8,7 % en 2023 et \u00e9valu\u00e9s \u00e0 5,2 milliards d’euros. Elle abrite certains des noms les plus reconnaissables de la musique, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s d’entreprises ind\u00e9pendantes prosp\u00e8res.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mais nous ne pouvons pas tenir cela pour acquis. Bien que l’industrie musicale de l’UE soit en effet en croissance, cette croissance est in\u00e9gale et accuse un retard par rapport \u00e0 d’autres march\u00e9s mondiaux. En m\u00eame temps, des changements sont apport\u00e9s \u00e0 la fa\u00e7on dont les revenus du streaming sont partag\u00e9s, sur lesquels le secteur ind\u00e9pendant n’a aucun mot \u00e0 dire. Des r\u00e8gles du jeu \u00e9quitables sont essentielles pour soutenir un \u00e9cosyst\u00e8me musical prosp\u00e8re qui apporte des avantages \u00e0 l’\u00e9conomie, \u00e0 la culture et \u00e0 l’innovation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tout le monde a un r\u00f4le \u00e0 jouer \u2014 de la plus grande soci\u00e9t\u00e9 musicale du monde \u00e0 la start-up perturbatrice ind\u00e9pendante qui d\u00e9couvre de nouveaux genres et sons. Mais lorsque des acquisitions comme celle-ci se produisent et commencent \u00e0 pencher trop fortement la balance, nous devons agir.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    L’acquisition propos\u00e9e par UMG repr\u00e9sente un risque grave pour cet \u00e9quilibre. En Europe, UMG contr\u00f4le d\u00e9j\u00e0 plus de 40 % du march\u00e9 de la musique enregistr\u00e9e \u2014 pr\u00e8s du double du deuxi\u00e8me plus grand acteur. En absorbant les capacit\u00e9s de distribution, de comptabilit\u00e9 des royalties et de gestion des droits de Downtown \u2014 des services utilis\u00e9s par des milliers d’entreprises et d’artistes du secteur ind\u00e9pendant \u2014 UMG consoliderait encore son pouvoir de march\u00e9 d\u00e9j\u00e0 important.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    L’accord placerait une part importante d’infrastructures essentielles sous le contr\u00f4le du leader du march\u00e9. De nombreuses entreprises musicales ind\u00e9pendantes sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 li\u00e9es aux services de Downtown, ce qui signifie que nous devrions compter sur notre plus grand concurrent pour connecter nos artistes et leur musique \u00e0 leurs fans.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    C’est pourquoi il est essentiel que l’accord soit examin\u00e9 \u00e0 travers le prisme de sa \u00ab part de contr\u00f4le \u00bb sur l’\u00e9conomie des march\u00e9s num\u00e9riques, ainsi que sur le march\u00e9 physique, et pas seulement la part en termes de revenus.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ce n’est pas simplement un \u00ab investissement \u00bb dans l’une des plus \u00e9minentes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s ind\u00e9pendantes du monde ; il s’agit de contr\u00f4le.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Les implications sont profondes. Cette consolidation permettrait \u00e0 UMG d’agir davantage en tant que gardien d’acc\u00e8s \u00e0 certains des meilleurs services du secteur, fa\u00e7onnant la musique qui est entendue, promue et mon\u00e9tis\u00e9e. Un tel pouvoir comporte des risques non seulement pour la fortune commerciale des entreprises ind\u00e9pendantes, mais aussi pour la richesse cr\u00e9ative et la diversit\u00e9 de la musique elle-m\u00eame.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Une concentration de cette ampleur restreindrait l’\u00e9ventail des voix, des styles et des cultures qui atteindront le public. Elle donnerait \u00e0 UMG un pouvoir suppl\u00e9mentaire pour fa\u00e7onner les services num\u00e9riques, influencer les seuils de mon\u00e9tisation et extraire davantage, aux d\u00e9pens du secteur ind\u00e9pendant. Cela r\u00e9duirait le choix pour les consommateurs, \u00e9toufferait l’exp\u00e9rimentation et affaiblirait le r\u00f4le de l’Europe en tant qu’incubateur vibrant d’expression musicale et artistique. Les fans entendront moins de nouveaut\u00e9s et plus de la m\u00eame chose. Les artistes travaillant en dehors du courant commercial dominant auront du mal \u00e0 trouver de la traction. Et une \u00e9conomie cr\u00e9ative autrefois florissante commencera \u00e0 stagner.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cette acquisition offre \u00e9galement un avantage concurrentiel cl\u00e9 en permettant \u00e0 UMG de collecter des donn\u00e9es aupr\u00e8s de concurrents utilisant ses services. Ces donn\u00e9es sont tr\u00e8s vari\u00e9es, allant d’informations de distribution \u2014 y compris les artistes et les tendances musicales, ainsi que les performances sur les plateformes num\u00e9riques \u2014 jusqu’\u00e0 des informations commerciales essentielles telles que la tarification, les termes contractuels et les relations strat\u00e9giques. \u00catre capable d’acc\u00e9der \u00e0 toutes ces donn\u00e9es donnerait \u00e0 UMG un acc\u00e8s par la porte d\u00e9rob\u00e9e \u00e0 d’autres entreprises concurrentes du march\u00e9 et renforcerait encore davantage sa position d\u00e9j\u00e0 avantageuse.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s musicales ind\u00e9pendantes jouent un r\u00f4le vital dans la promotion de l’innovation musicale, favorisant la diversit\u00e9 et prot\u00e9geant la culture. Pour remplir ce r\u00f4le, nous devons avoir un acc\u00e8s juste et non discriminatoire aux meilleures infrastructures de l’\u00e9conomie musicale. Et ne pas \u00eatre forc\u00e9s dans une d\u00e9pendance structurelle envers notre plus grand concurrent qui modifie \u00e9galement les mod\u00e8les de paiement sur les services num\u00e9riques.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nous exhortons donc la Commission europ\u00e9enne \u00e0 ouvrir une enqu\u00eate d\u00e9taill\u00e9e de phase deux pour examiner les cons\u00e9quences structurelles plus profondes de cette transaction. L’acquisition propos\u00e9e pose une menace claire \u00e0 la concurrence effective, l’innovation et la croissance de l’industrie musicale dans l’UE et \u00e0 l’\u00e9chelle mondiale.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nous devons garder la musique ouverte.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"La campagne pour emp\u00eacher Universal Music Group d’acqu\u00e9rir Downtown Music Holdings
