LTDnetwork Receives 2006 DCIA Trendsetter's Award NEW YORK and ARLINGTON, Va., June 29, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) --
LTDnetwork, a subsidiary of Brilliant Technologies Inc.
(OTC BB:BLLN.OB - News), today announced that The Distributed Computing
Industry Association (http://www.DCIA.info), a trade organization
representing peer-to-peer (P2P) software providers, content
rights holders, and service-and-support companies, presented
the 2006 DCIA Trendsetter's Award to LTDnetwork Chairman
and CEO Allan Klepfisz at the first annual P2P MEDIA SUMMIT
in McLean, VA.
During his acceptance and keynote address remarks, Allan Klepfisz stated that, ``Our deal with EMI signifies change. The music industry is now embracing change . . . there is massive change being led by some people who are truly visionary in seeing a dramatically altered world when it comes to making a living from music. We are dedicated to placing Qtrax at the forefront of that change.'' At launch Qtrax will provide fans with free, advertising-funded access to high-quality, high-fidelity digital music files, as well as the option to subscribe to a premium version of the service or to purchase music tracks and albums on an a la carte basis. Qtrax will offer two tiers of service: the first is a free, advertising-supported tier designed to work with and filter copyrighted content from existing peer-to-peer networks. The second tier is a premium subscription service which will require a monthly fee. The two-tiered business model is intended to attract a broad base of consumers to try out the service, and then graduate those consumers to purchase music permanently or subscribe. In the ad-supported, free tier, users will be able to search the network for specific tracks, and those tracks registered with Qtrax will be made available for download in Qtrax's proprietary ``.mpq'' file format. Users will then be able to play the downloaded .mpq file in full-fidelity sound quality for a pre-defined number of times. Each time a consumer plays a track, the Qtrax player will also offer fans click-to-buy purchase options, as well as the opportunity to upgrade to a premium subscription service for a flat monthly fee. The P2P MEDIA SUMMIT featured keynote speeches from top P2P software distributors and discussion panels lead by industry leaders.
