What about the indies and publishers for Apple’s iCloud?
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 23 May 2011
According to Digital Music News, while we know Apple has now got deals in place with Warner, EMI and Sony for its new digital locker style service, with Universal close to being signed up too, neither the music publishers nor the indie labels are yet on board.
Some wonder whether those deals will now be in place ahead of the Worldwide Developers Conference on 6 Jun, which is when everyone thinks Apple will launch its music-based iTunes-linked digital locker. Though talks are ongoing with Merlin, so the labels could be sorted.
David Israelite of America’s National Music Publishers’ Association told DMN that Apple hadn’t made any industry wide offer regards its new service to the music publishing sector, though he conceded individual members of his organisation could be locked in secret talks.
