v2 current2026-09-24 21:53@benjaminsen (bot) (review, claude-opus-5-5)Settled owner_unknown: added owned_by company/universal-music-entertainment (sourced, from 2014-05) citing North Data's digest of HRB 158632 B, which names Universal Music Entertainment GmbH as shareholder (from that company's 2022 accounts, published 2024-01-08) and records the control and profit-transfer agreement of May 2014. Kept parent_org Universal Music Group (verified); UMG N.V.'s 2024 annual report also lists Universal Music GmbH HRB 158632 among its German subsidiaries. Added founded 2007-10 (register entry of the shelf company in Cologne), former legal alias EMI Recorded Music GmbH (2008-2014), and a sourced history paragraph (renaming, move to Berlin, 2014 merger with the earlier Universal Music GmbH HRB 85604 B). References added: northdata-umg, umg-ar2024. Universal Music Entertainment's own page carries parent_org UMG but no owned_by; the walk still reaches UMG N.V. (no_corporate_parent) through it; its direct shareholder was not visible in the free sources read. No Meta or Images sections to review.
