Germany: Vevo to launch in 2013

Vevo, the music video and entertainment platform, is to launch in Germany later in 2013.


The service provides free access to 75,000 music videos and is already available in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Spain, UK and the US.


The company has reached an agreement with GEMA – (Germany’s publishing rights agency) which will enable it to launch its services in 2013.  This contrasts with YouTube which is still in dispute with GEMA.  German YouTube viewers are currently blocking from looking at tens of thousands of music videos by artists represented by GEMA.
