Brilliant Technologies Corporation (OTCBB:BLLN) and the
GoDigital Music Group, which encompasses GoDigital, UrbanDigital and
E-Klectrik Records, today jointly announced that GoDigital has
licensed its content to Brilliant for distribution over the company's
legal P2P music file sharing service, Qtrax.
"GoDigital Records is a truly digital record label and has been
built from the ground up to accommodate the rapidly changing world of
digital music and content," said Jason Peterson, President GoDigital
Music Group. "We're not locked into age-old retail and distribution
methods like some other companies out there. We welcome radical ideas
and new thinking. Qtrax fits our philosophy perfectly."
According to Master P, Recording Artist & President of Guttar
Music Entertainment and who releases his label's music digitally
through UrbanDigital Records, "I release my music under UrbanDigital
and GoDigital because they're at the forefront. Qtrax is turning P2P
legit - it's the bizness, it's for real."
Allan Klepfisz, Brilliant Technologies' President & CEO, said, "By
working closely with the major labels we generated considerable
momentum behind Qtrax, and today's agreement with an industry and
rights-leader like GoDigital further accelerates our preparation for
launch The next quarter will be interesting as we put into place the
requisite final building blocks to launch our cutting edge service. We
and our partners are acutely aware of the potential Qtrax has for the
industry and for our Company."
"We're excited about Qtrax's unique, ad-supported model for
harnessing existing material on P2P networks," said Dave Lindsay,
GoDigital VP Business Development and Technology. "This, in
conjunction with their permanent download function, will be a boon for
content owners and consumers alike. Qtrax enables us to have our
artists' music in more places than ever before. It's great for
headliners like Master P and Romeo, as well as our developing artists
like FIN, Tom Langford, and Terron Brooks."
Brilliant's recent label deals have been accelerating, including
announcing a licensing deal with Warner Music Group yesterday, with
The Orchard two weeks ago, with EMI Music Publishing last month, and
going back with EMI Music, TVT Records, ASCAP (the Performing Rights
Organization that represents the world's largest repertory totaling
over 8 million copyrighted musical works of every style and genre) and
BMI, the American performing rights organization that represents more
than 300,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers.
The GoDigital Music Group, which encompasses GoDigital,
UrbanDigital and E-Klectrik Records is a "next-generation" record
label and content distributor. The label group specializes in
incubating developing artists through their 24x7x365 global network of
retail, distribution, and marketing partners. For established artists
and labels, GoDigital provides world-class digital distribution and
marketing to complement the artist or label's pre-existing physical
distribution and marketing.
