Bad news

Music file-share site Qtrax forced into humiliating U-turn

" A website which promised to give music lovers the world's first legal file-sharing service was forced into a humiliating climbdown today after it emerged that the company had not secured the backing of the record industry. "

" Today it emerged that none of the four major labels had done deals with the site, putting a large dent in the promised catalogue of 25 million songs and prompting allegations that the site's founders had misled fans. "

Or you could just keep downloading music illegally like the rest of us and not waste your time with this crap.

what a looser!!!!!

The singer James Blunt gave Qtrax a cautious welcome. “I’m amazed that we now accept that people steal music,” he said. “I was taught not to steal sweets from a sweet shop. But I want to learn how this service works, given the condition the music industry is in.”


it s going to be super interesting to see how music evolves. i think its going to multiply in quality. more people making music inspired by passion & not greed.

Bumping this shit because I just went onto the site today and found out that 'apparently' free legal downloads of all their music as been enabled for people in the USA. I still don't believe it, but I'm in Canada so I can't exactly test it. Anyone?

lol it was a joke dude, lighten up. just saying i don't mind downloading illegally, quality is usually pretty good anyways, and it's a hell of a lot better than going out, buying an album, and finding out half the tracks are shit.
