NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/10/06 -- EMI Music Publishing, the world's largest music publishing organization, and Brilliant Technologies Corporation (OTCBB: BLLN) today announced that EMI has licensed its music publishing properties for listening and download on Brilliant's Qtrax legal P2P music network. Qtrax is a groundbreaking ad-supported peer-to-peer digital content distribution system designed to provide for the legal sharing, distribution and intellectual property protection of content while driving new revenue streams for the legal peer-to-peer online distribution of EMI's prestigious catalog of recorded music.
"We are delighted to support Qtrax's innovative approach; it fits perfectly into the EMI Music Publishing strategy of embracing new, precedent setting business models that have the potential to expand the market for music. Qtrax presents a legitimate way to deliver the music of our roster of songwriters to more music fans in a peer-to-peer distribution model designed to ensure both rights protection and writer/publisher compensation from the substantial pool of internet advertising dollars. The Qtrax ad-supported model gives us yet another important vehicle from which we can continue to maximize the earning potential and expand the reach of the world's largest publishing company," said Roger Faxon, Co-CEO of EMI Music Publishing.
"We are very pleased to have EMI Music Publishing as our partner in pioneering new ways to enhance and create new royalty streams for writers and music publishers," said Allan Klepfisz, President & CEO of Brilliant Technologies Corporation. "EMI understands the sometimes competing requirements of fans, artists and copyright owners and the leadership role and responsibility they have to expand catalog exposure while protecting the rights of their writer and publisher partners. We are proud to work with EMI to pioneer new revenue streams and believe that Qtrax will represent a long-overdue 'common ground' meeting the disparate needs of creators and consumers in the profound marketplace that is P2P."
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
