EU Wants EU Wide Licensing Plan For Downloadable Music
from the making-life-easier-for-someone dept
It looks like people in the EU have realized that setting up a music download shop is quite difficult, requiring getting approval from way too many sources, so they’re going to recommend setting up a single EU-wide licensing program. It’s not surprising that they’re doing this, but it remains to be seen how it works out in practice. In setting up such a thing, it requires certain assumptions about how the business model for the industry is going to work, and that could lock them into ideas that don’t necessarily make as much sense.
