IndiaInfo.com, a Bombay based web portal network, announced that musicurry.com, its recently acquired affiliate portal is the first Indian portal to obtain a license to host and play Indian music online.

The Indian Performing Right Society, IPRS, and Phonographic Performance Ltd, PPL, wings of the Indian Music industry have granted musicurry.com the first of its kind license to legally host a wide variety of music.

"The musicurry.com team including myself, being artists, feel strongly about artist welfare and respect artist copyrights. We will now be working closely with various companies and artists to help them maximize the benefits of the Internet," said a member of the musicurry.com team, Mandar Agashe.

Said IndiaInfo's president of content and ad network, Sunil Rajshekhar, "The license not only gives Indiainfo.com another feather in its cap but also reinforces our commitment to our loyal Internet audience. Indiainfo.com is committed to discipline on the net regarding copyright issues and this license reiterates our focus."

Musicurry.com is India's first online web radio. The site promotes all forms of Indian music ranging from Indipop to film music and regional music. Musicurry.com was also the first Indian portal to launch an online tutor 'Online Guruji' for budding musicians. The site plans in the near future to diversify into international rock music, which is likely to further enhance its popularity.
