Music Streaming Service MOG Raises $9.5 Million
In: web resources
27 Feb 2010
MOG, an on-demand music streaming service with backing from both Universal Music Group and Sony Music, has raised $9.5 million in a new round of funding.
MOG, which has already raised over $10 million in angel and Series A rounds, launched in December with the goal of muscling into the subscription music business, with its value proposition being its $5-per-month price and 256kbps streams.
Competitors include Napster, Rhapsody and Spotify (though Spotify has yet to launch in the U.S.).
According to MOG, the new funding will be used to push European expansion, develop mobile apps and build partnerships. The company plans to expand into the UK by the end of June, with other nations to follow. MOG is also upping its free trial from one hour to three days in order to give people a better chance to experience its product.
The funding round was led by Menlo Ventures, a previous investor in the company, and joined by Balderton Capital.

Sublime's label Skunk was used for their first two albums
"40 Oz. to Freedom" and "Robbin' the Hood",
It was MCA for their 3rd album "Sublime", MCA is now UMG.

You have to contact the music company direct, however, unless you are seriously rich, you are unlikely to obtain the rights to any modern track outright.
Most pieces of music are, these days, equally owned by the band, author & music company, although the music company owns the copyright in most cases, which lasts for 100 years before anybody can freely use it.
Your best bet is to contact the music company directly & ask for a license or permission to use the music, this may also incur a fee, but they are unlikely to object as long as the use of the music does not prevent the owner from making money, or you do not charge for its use.
