UK based digital music service provider Broadchart, has announced that it has acquired NetPD, the digital rights management provider and online media monitoring

service.

NetPD has acted at the bequest of clients to indentify and remove over 56 million unauthorised files from the internet and was also instrumental in establishing the music industry's case against Napster.

"The acquisition of NetPD enables us to establish a presence and customer base in the USA and to offer an even more comprehensive range of services to music industry customers, which now include ones which address the ever growing problem of illegal music," said Broadchart CEO Andy Hill.((Distributed via M2 Communications Ltd - http://www.m2.com))
