I have a question that may be hard to answer for those not schooled in North American corporate law. I imagine Canada and the US are very similar.

My question is this. If a major record company like EMI buys up a smaller company (for examples sake lets use Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles.) can they now legally block your Dead Kennedy songs you put up on youtube, even if you owned the record years before the take over?

Just curious if anyone would know?
