April 25, 2008 - ZOOM Gets Huge Boost From New INgrooves/ Universal Music Alliance
Universal Music Group Distribution, the award-winning sales and marketing division of Universal Music Group, the world's leading music company, has entered into a strategic alliance with INgrooves, a leading provider of digital distribution, and the administrator of ZOOM, the groundbreaking music license platform for wedding videographers and digital imagers.
The new strategic alliance with Universal Music Group (UMG) means INgrooves will now work directly with UMG to clear volumes of master recordings and compositions from the Universal catalog for use in the ZOOM platform, said INgrooves CEO Robb McDaniels.
With UMG’s recording and publishing market shares being the largest in the music industry the new alliance means efforts already underway by ZOOM to clear thousands of songs for use in professional wedding and event videography have been given a huge boost. By this summer, WEVA members who have already registered for ZOOM will begin seeing major amounts of new cleared music joining the ZOOM catalog.

Despite tumultuous shake-ups in the music industry this past year, ZOOM, the groundbreaking music license platform for videographers and digital imagers, has made steady progress and last week announced the clearance of major catalogs into the program.
“On the publishing side, in addition to EMI, the world's largest music publishing company, Warner Chappell, the world’s second-largest publisher, has now officially signed on with ZOOM and has already begun clearing songs for ZOOM licensing. EMI and Warner Chappell have nearly a 50% market share in the publishing industry and represent many of the top songs videographers want to use," said Jeff Straw, Director of Licensing for INgrooves, the administrator of the new music licensing program for professional videographers and digital imagers in the USA and Canada.
