I don't think that EMI has anything to worry about considering that Mr McCartney's record sales are not what they were. I do suppose that it is a prestige thing for StarBucks.
I also don't think that the fledging label would try to sign up some hard core Hip Hop act or a cutting alt rock band so the major labels need not worry.

Then again, given its track record, this venture, along with the recent publcity from Sir Paul's divorce, might produce a surprise hit.

Hear Music has always had a pretty decent music selection in Starbucks cafes. Besides, branching away from coffee and into book and media sales will surely combat this 'watering down' of the Starbucks experience. It doesn't get more personal than Paul McCartney, we've known him for decades. Stay tuned for happy things like Happy Feet and the Pursuit of Happyness on dvd from the Empire of the Emerald Mermaid.
