The Sony/ATV deal represents a renewed commitment from the publisher. Martin Bandier, chairman and CEO of Sony/ATV, said:

We enthusiastically support Qtrax as an innovative method for reclaiming rights and revenues from music misappropriated by worldwide P2P networks, while at the same time providing users with a superior legal and free net-based music experience. This agreement expands upon our original agreement with Qtrax and represents another example of Sony/ATV's commitment to securing our songwriters' rights in the digital space.

Likewise, the EMI deal is an extension of a previous deal, according to EMI Music Publishing chairman and CEO Roger Faxon:

EMI Music Publishing came on board with QTrax very early because we believed that this concept could provide real value to our songwriters. As such we are extraordinarily pleased that it has come to fruition and that is now going to become a reality.

The entire music industry has had to change with the times and the behavior of the listening public. We at EMI Music Publishing are committed to making sure that our songwriters benefit from their creative output, and that fans have the opportunity to access digital music legally in as many ways as possible.

Let's see what you write next week when we hear more good news.

i applaud the positive posts, for your understanding of business and how new products come to be- and hate on the hater posts, spanksandwiches with too much time on thier hands to begin to understand from whence they spake. i understand where they are coming from, its just that thier voices are so muffled coming from the backside, through thier pants.]]>Mar 7th 2008 1:20PM
