As some of you may already know, aside from the 200 features revealed for iOS 5 for this week’s WWDC event, Apple also managed to reveal the iCloud and its two other features included on the list. One is iTunes on the Cloud and the paid iTunes Match.
As of today, it appears the latter service won’t be available for UK, at least not in 2012 until record label companies are certain this won’t bring problems on their business.
According to Telegraph, the reason why iTunes Match won’t be available in the land of the Brits, is because “these type of negotiations take a long time” unlike in USA in which Apple seems to have already received the green light. Likewise, different bodies governing major record labels are still testing the waters of how iTunes Match will play out in USA, and if it turns out it doesn’t produce problems (e.g: download sale), Apple may pass on UK.
In our previous report, we revealed that iTunes Match scans your iTunes profile and matches every song you have and puts in the iCloud. This also has a feature that converts all your CD-ripped music into digitally-copyrighted songs in a flash. At that time, we posed a question about what’s preventing iTunes Match of not converting pirated MP3 songs downloaded from torrents for example, to become copyrighted?
Well, let’s see how this one plays on Fall for USA.
