Warner Signs Content Deal With Hulu
Not satisfied with signing up it’s music and video content to the most successful US video streaming website of 2009, Vevo, WMG has done a deal with internet TV streaming site Hulu for access to the same content.
The agreement brings an artist-focused online video experience that features music videos, artist interviews, live concerts and rare behind the scenes footage from WMG’s world-renowned artists and labels including Atlantic Records, Rhino Records and Warner Bros. Records.
This is a pretty agressive drive towards monetising WMG’s content online, and a sign the big 4 are beginning to adapt and respond to the loss of physical sales and the rise of file sharing, instead of just digging their heels in and waiting for the courts to prosecute a solution for them.
