If you look carefully at record labels, many have the letters BMI.
BMI is Broadcast Music, Inc., a music licensing company. Founded in 1939, BMI was acquired this year by New Mountain Capital, a private equity firm.
BMI is also widely known as body mass index. An article in MIT Technology Review suggests that BMI should be replaced with another measurement — SAD, sagittal abdominal diameter.
Perhaps under its new ownership, BMI will develop a method for measuring the fat content in music.
