LUXEMBOURG, February 27, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Jamendo launches an innovative service of background music for public places.
Over 180,000 tracks not belonging to any PRO catalog are now available as background music for bars, restaurants, hotels, shops...
...hair salons, waiting rooms or spas: these are some of the types of public places to which jamendo's new background music service is destined. It is accessible online at
http://pro.jamendo.com. The music is available through secured online streaming or on physical stockage devices.
With Jamendo Pro, professionals can offer varied, digital quality background music in their establishment, without any ads or interruptions, with a choice of musical atmospheres including pop, lounge, jazz, rock, classical and electro.
This service, like jamendo.com itself, is available in eight languages. Capitalizing on the rapidly expanding popularity of jamendo worldwide, Jamendo Pro aims to cater to all territories, from the USA to Asia and South America, as well as its strongholds of Western and Eastern Europe.
Thus, jamendo is confronting long-standing national monopolies held by ASCAP, BMI, PRS, GEMA, SOCAN, BUMA and all performance rights organizations around the world. It proposes instead what can be considered fair trade music, establishing jamendo as a collective rights society for the 21st century: at least 50% of all revenues are directly distributed to the concerned artists, without any other intermediaries. Creative Commons licenses, with their more flexible version of traditional copyright recognized in over 60 countries, constitute a solid legal backbone that ensures the music's protection.
Advantages
For professionals:
* an economical service in comparison to the fees charged by performance rights organizations
* easy to use
* no ads
* a large choice of music adapted to the atmosphere of their establishment
* legal conformity guaranteed by the delivery of a certificate justifying exemption from PRO fees
For artists:
* fair and direct remuneration

However, for private uses, individual users can download all the music present on jamendo, legally and cost-free.
