EMI licenses content to Pressplay

3 October 2001 2:12 by Petteri "dRD" Pyyny

EMI, smallest of the "big five" record labels, became the first to license its music catalog to both services, MusicNet and Pressplay, when it announced yesterday its deal with Pressplay.

Now it seems more likely than ever that Pressplay and MusicNet can create a duopoly in online music distribution business, if other labels follow EMI's footsteps and license their music for both services. After EMI's deal, Pressplay now has the biggest range of music available among these two services -- from Vivendi Universal, Sony and now from EMI.

Both services are about to open before end of this year.
