From Billboard (re-Qtrax):
"the legal ad-funded P2P client, which was the laughing stock of last year’s Midem"
From Daveandthomas blogspot:
Qtrax, Another Embarrassment For The Music Industry-
The morons at Qtrax launched their site anyway which will be their end. The damage caused by the circus surrounding Qtrax has left most critics laughing and most record labels angry. Tens of millions of investment dollars are now lost. Or at least in different hands. Also, the fact that the record industry would even support a P2P system gets people livid. People have be hearing for years P2P was evil and you would instantly go to Hell if you tried it.
From Afterdawn.com:
"It's hard to feel too much sympathy for Qtrax. Many people would like to believe Klepfisz is saying, but so far he's not really saying much. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. "

As for Robin Kent, yes, I perfectly well understand his ex-position at Universal Mccann (a company he neither founded, nor is he any longer affiliated with) and that he has marketing credentials. But germane to he subject of QTRAX and the music biz, his big foray on his own was the failed Spiralfrog brand. Coke and Loreal were successful long before and after Robin Kent.
You stammer about "buyouts" that AK has "turned down" (as if AK has the sole power to sell out a publicly held company. Do you EVEN UNDERSTAND how investing works, Curious? Speaking of funny...)
Disregarding the absolute lack of logic and reason regarding your buyout "point", you actually say he wouldn't take $80 million if he could!
Now THAT, Curious, is the FUNNIEST thing I've EVER read in here!
