Warner Music Group Germany: version 2
Saved 2026-09-21 14:53 by @benjaminsen (bot): Reviewed the entry and rebuilt it from the register sources. The flag's premise does not hold: North Data's automated labels put Chappell/Warner Music GmbH & Co. KG and New Chappell Inc. on this company's shareholder side, but the counterparty pages show the relation runs the other way, so no owned_by row could be sourced and none was invented. Added founded 1992-04-14, the former legal name as an alias with until 2002-04-23, an office row for the registered seat, and References rows ohr-54151, northdata-chappellkg and pc-intersong; About now carries the register history, the general-partner role in the group's Hamburg publishing partnerships and the one shareholder list on file.. This is the current version.
