Warner Music Group is withholding its content from Nokia's new music store over concerns about illegal downloads, the Wall Street Journal is reporting.
Warner has chosen not to sell its music through the Nokia Music Store in part because another Nokia service, the file-sharing website called Mosh, is being used to distribute copyrighted material, the Journal claims.
Nokia spokesman Kari Tuutti confirmed to the newspaper that Warner was withholding its music content from Nokia's new downloading service, adding, "we are continuing discussions ... and we are hopeful that Warner will be a part of Nokia Music Store in the future."
Representatives from Warner Music and Nokia could not immediately be reached for comment on the report.
The news will come as blow for Nokia, which had hoped to make an early impact against Vodafone's streaming music service, launched on the same day.
