Dublin-based music video website Muzu.tv, whose founders were named as 2009 Net Visionaries by the Irish Internet Association (IIA) just last week, has signed a major deal with Warner Music.

The agreement enables the website to broadcast thousands of videos from Warner Music’s roster of acts, which includes artists such as James Blunt, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Paolo Nutini and Green Day (pictured).

The deal means that Muzu has now signed agreements with all the major leading music labels – Warner, Universal, EMI and Sony BMG, giving it a distinct advantage over Google’s popular YouTube video website, which recently had to block access to videos from the “big four” due to a dispute over licence fees.

Ciarán Bollard, chief executive and co-founder of Muzu, said that the deal represented a major coup for the company.
