188. The SonyBMG joint venture combines Sony and Bertelsmann’s recorded music businesses worldwide, except for Japan. It comprises only so-called “artist and repertoire” (A%amp%R) activities, i.e. the discovery and development of performing artists (singers), and the marketing and sale of records. By contrast, SonyBMG will not be active in the manufacturing and the physical distribution (logistics) of records. Likewise, Sony and Bertelsmann’s music publishing businesses are not integrated into the joint venture.

188. L-intrapriża konġunta SonyBMG tgħaqqad in-negozji madwar id-dinja tal-mużika rrekordjata ta'Sony u Bertelsmann, ħlief għall-Ġappun. Tinkludi biss l-attivitajiet li jissejħu “ ta'l-Artisti u tar-Repertorju ” (A%amp%R -“ Artist and Repertoire ”), jiġifieri l-iskoperta u l-iżvilupp ta'artisti (kantanti), u l-ħruġ fis-suq u l-bejgħ tad-diski. B’kuntrast, SonyBMG mhux se tkun attiva fil-manifattura u fid-distribuzzjoni fiżika (loġistika) tad-diski. Bl-istess mod, in-negozji ta'Sony u Bertelsmann tal-pubblikazzjoni tal-mużika mhumiex integrati fl-intrapriża konġunta.
