| Music to be streamed online in pubs? |

Pubs could soon stream their music online rather than use jukeboxes with hard copies of the music, it has been revealed. Web-based music service Spotify is reportedly in talks with pubs and bars to offer the service, which would require venues to have a licence, which it says the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry has expressed an interest in granting, reports the Morning Advertiser. Spotify communications manager Jim Butcher told the newspaper: "[The licence] would allow us to offer a version of our service to pubs, bars and businesses in general. "We would still need to make amendments to agreements with collecting societies and publishers." He did concede it would be difficult for the company to monitor which pubs had paid for the service and those that used it adhoc. Meanwhile, it was reported earlier this week that the popularity of streaming BBC programmes through Playstation games consoles could pave the way for TVs to provide similar services. That was the opinion of Tim Gibbons, founder of the Social Media Portal.  |
