A growing number of fans want to interact with music, remixing it or mashing it up for use on social media. But the licensing deals are sometimes having to catch up with this behaviour. A new startup called Hook is launching with $3m of funding to try to build a legal model around the trend. The company has built a service to enable fans to “remix their favorite songs quickly, easily and legally and share them with the world.”
