French Indies Ink Digital Deals With Two E-tailers
French independent labels body the UPFI and independent labels collecting society the SPPF have struck download agreements with two national e-tail sites. The pacts--made on behalf of the organizations' members--are with Virgin Stores France's virginmega.fr Web site and Universal Music France's online
subscription service E-compil.
"Hundreds of labels and hundreds of thousands of songs are covered by this accord," says Jerome Roger, GM of the SPPF and the UPFI.
The agreements were apparently inspired by similar digital-distribution deals struck by the U.K.'s Assn. of Independent Music and its new-media arm Musicindie.
Roger says the SPPF is in negotiations for a similar arrangement with U.K.-based digital music service provider OD2, whose French clients already include portal wanadoo.fr and retail chain Fnac.
