Actually, that was the model that Mashboxx originated. We crated those licenses from whole cloth as the appropriate language hadn't existed prior to Mashboxx. They were originally conceived by me and Andy Lack, then CEO of Sony. We spent months working with the Sony lawyers to hammer out a new form of license that we then used as a template for the other labels. Once we had our deals signed, Klepsy went in and copied them. Basically said to the labels "can I have the same kind of licenses?" Clearly the creativity to come up with his own unique model was not present.
Since then the labels have backed off and will only allow him to use centrally served DRM content. But I am convinced, with good reason, that he not longer has any label licenses. I don't care what anybody says, I know of at least one label that no longer has a contract in force. Don't bother asking which one. And since I can do the math, I am quite sure that the others have expired as well.
Meanwhile, I don't think that anyone has ever seen a business plan from Qtrax. If you'll recall, Klepsy always said that he would not reveal it because he didn't want his competitors to know it. That's always a convenient excuse.
