TECHi's Take
Google already runs the world’s biggest music service. Soon it’s going to own a little bit of the music business, too.
Emphasis on little. Google is providing a sliver of financing for a new label that will be run by Lyor Cohen, the veteran music executive. People familiar with the transaction say Google should end up putting a mere $5 million into the new venture.
