Apple inks key pan-European deal – should enable iTunes extension as new tablet looms

PRS for Music has signed a pan-European licensing deal with iTunes which should enable the opening of digital stores in new European nations.

“Few details are available right now, but the deal will provide pan-European performing rights for all PRS members as well as mechanical and performing rights license for content from Peer Music and Chrysalis Music

“It also gives licensing framework for rights from other leading independent publishers (including those of the recently announced IMPEL scheme),” Music Week reports.
