"We're thrilled to add three of Europe's largest indie labels to our iTunes Music Store in the U.K., France and Germany," Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in a statement. "We welcome Beggars, Sanctuary and V2 to the iTunes family and plan to add many more independent labels soon."
The lack of music from independent labels has been iTunes' biggest hurdle in Europe where many popular artists are represented by smaller labels. With three major indie labels on board, it's quite probable that iTunes will soon be able to sign smaller labels as well.
