Equitis Issues Research Report on Brilliant Technologies
Brilliant Technologies Corporation (OTCBB:BLLN) today announced
that Equitis Inc. has issued a research report on the company and its
forthcoming launch of Qtrax, the world's first legal ad-supported
peer-to-peer music service.
The research report was developed by Equitis Co Founder and CEO of
US Operations Kama Krishna. Mr. Krishna has extensive experience as a
Senior Analyst in the technology, media, telecom and a variety of
other industry groups. He was the first analyst on Wall Street to
write a comprehensive report on the Internet Security sector. He has
worked with New York based Laidlaw Global Securities and Ryan Beck.
Prior to becoming a sell-side analyst he had his own asset management
firm Himalayan Investments, investing in the Bombay Stock Exchange. He
holds a bachelor's degree in engineering from the Indian Institute of
Technology in Kharagpur and an MBA in Finance from the Utah State
University.
"Qtrax offers a powerful new distribution platform for music
companies - one that captures new revenue from the enormous pool of
advertising money being spent online and at the same time satisfies
the appetite of users who crave a different way to experience their
music from the ways offered by existing paid digital music services.
Importantly, Qtrax's P2P platform does all this in a way that respects
copyright and ensures everyone gets paid," remarked Krisha.
Qtrax will provide fans with free access to high-quality,
high-fidelity digital music files. Qtrax will also provide users with
an array of allied services, including options to subscribe to an "all
you can eat" premium version of the free service and to purchase
individual tracks, albums and related products. Brilliant has already
signed licensing deals with the major labels and music publishers
(including EMI Music, Warner Music Group, Sony/ATV Publishing and
Universal Publishing) and independents (including TVT, The Orchard and
V2).
"We are pleased that via Mr. Krishna's report we can inform the
market of the enormous potential in the Qtrax business model," said
Allan Klepfisz, CEO of Brilliant. "This further confirms the judgment
of our numerous label & publisher partners."
