It's something of a long-standing problem by now. Imprint/publisher pattern (as it's been called time and time again) doesn't completely work as intended anymore. We now have the situation where the field is called 'published by' (and that's an issue in its own) but only the label gets in it (and that is not a 'publisher') while the companies (which were there in the past) often get thrown out (Mellow / Lantis) and in some other cases the old 'imprint / publisher' still remains unchanged for some reason (even though it's the same as label / manufacturer).

IMO there's nothing wrong in listing all of the relevant (company) entities and labels. On the contrary, it's quite necessary to be as thorough as possible.

We do have labels, sound copyright holders, general copyright holders, distributors, manufacturers and publishers of the music itself and all of these can be mentioned (and linked) at some place on the album page. This is really a rather well distinction in the west - for example you have one of the Warner labels and lines that say "All Music Published by Warner-Barham Music, LLC" as the real music publisher entity while the manufacturer could be a company that owns the label or even a totally different one when the label has a contract of sorts with its manufacturer and isn't owned by them.

I hope these issues will be adressed one day in this database.
