"Music and entertainment-focused video site VEVO has arrived in Germany, ending its two-year long effort to meet local licensing demands in the European country.\r\n\r\nVEVO has opened an office in Berlin, out of which its operations in Germany -- its 13th market worldwide -- will be run. Interestingly, the site has launched without the support of YouTube, the long-running partner with which it signed a renewed contract\u00A0-- including an investment deal -- with back in July. YouTube has struggled with licensing rights in Germany, and is devoid of content from many local recording labels.\r\n\r\nThe company brings a library of 75,000 videos in Germany, and it has plans for a range of exclusive releases: starting with\u00A0German hip-hop act Fettes Brot and its track \u201C31 Days\u201D.\r\n\r\nRelated:\u00A0Music video site VEVO to launch in Germany without YouTube as its partner\r\n\r\nHeadline image via\u00A0Vladru\u00A0/ Shutterstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
