So, maybe talk of a sale could be the best thing that has ever happened to Warner Music Group: The company's shares went up 16 percent yesterday, as talk of a buyout by Bertelsmann Media gains traction. Warner shares went up to $6.58, so it's not like they're suddenly worth hundreds of dollars, but it's still a positive for the company. I wonder how much of that money goes to the artists, though.
