Robert Andrews at Moconews has a good overview on what happened at the Nokia Remix London event on October 2, 2008: @ Nokia Remix Live: First Touch-Screen, Comes With Music, EMI On Board, Plectrum Included | mocoNews.net:
"Labels include: On top of the three other majors already known about, EMI repertoire was announced tonight, plus indie distributors The Orchard, Beggars Group, IODA, Minister of Sound and PIAS are on board for UK. There’s licensing through EMI Music Publishing, SELAS, Sony ATV, GEMA and MCPS-PRS.."
This is another very interesting version of the flat-rate I have been talking about for years - yes, it's not perfect yet, and it's funded by Nokia primarily as a marketing compaign, but still - Music Like Water, Finnish style, take 1, I would say.
Business week has a good column on Nokia's plans, here. CNet has a good summary on what the deal with the music is, here. Related video, here. Some more videos are below.
Disclosure: Nokia is a think-tank client of mine. However, this blog post is my purely personal opinion and in no way related to my speaking engagements for Nokia.
