Universal Music Group and InterTrust Technologies Corp. are among a consortium that is investing $80 million in digital commerce services company Magex.

London-based Magex provides a payment infrastructure for the delivery of digital music or video content over the Internet. Universal and other companies have already named Magex as their preferred provider of such services.

Magex plans to expand its East and West Coast operations in North America in the next six months.
