Free Song Downloads

Well once again another free music file sharing services is having trouble. Qtrax is an online file sharing service that supposedly had the blessing of the music labels to offer 25 million songs that could be downloaded and put onto digital music players even Ipods Apparently after the press release for the service on Sunday the New York-based Warner Music corporation denied the claim. The chief executive of Qtrax reacted saying that "the deal with Warner Music had not been signed, but said he expects to reach an agreement on terms "shortly."
Something interesting about this is that the songs will work on Ipods only until April 15th. It doesn't say how this works because I would think that once it is on the device it wouldn't be able to be destroyed unless you chose to do this). The chief executive and president Allan Klepfisz commented that apple had nothing to do with making the files work on their products.
To offset the costs of giving away this free music the service will rely on advertising profits.
