In August 2000, Nokia signed a deal with music publisher EMI to provide EMI-owned songs as ringtones, available from the Club Nokia website or by sending an SMS message.

However, the EMI deal proved controversial as it placed Nokia in direct competition with the mobile operators' own branded portals (e.g. Vodafone live! or T-Zones), who relied on the booming ringtones market for revenue and were wary of Nokia gaining a mobile content monopoly through Club Nokia as Microsoft had done in computing software.
