Qtrax update
Posted by Dirk Avery at 10:07 am under Copyright, Internet.
Qtrax launched yesterday and already scandal is in the air. Qtrax claimed to have deals with the major music labels. The labels have a different view.
But by Monday, Sony BMG Music Entertainment and Warner had publicly denied that they had agreed to back the new Qtrax service.
A source close to Universal Music, the largest of the group, said it also had not signed a deal for the new Qtrax service and is still in discussions.
And a source close to EMI Group said that while its song publishing unit has an agreement with Qtrax, its recorded music arm, EMI Music, does not.
