Qtrax will be sued before they even launch if they arent careful. Qtrax is a music P2P service that is supposed to have launched a few days ago, but the site is online and no one can download their software. Plus, it has been reported that Qtrax dont have agreements with WMG and EMI when they have specifically announced that they have. So strange!
The LA Times reported that Qtrax has not signed with EMI or Warner Music Group and they are only close to coming to terms with Universal. So why are they going around saying they already have these contracts? I really think this product could be a lost effort even before it launches.
Popular blog BoingBoing is launching its own web-based daily tv show. Much like the blog, BoingBoingTV will focus on odd bits from around the Web, but in daily 3-5 minute video segments, five days a week.
The show will be hosted by Xeni Jardin and BoingBoing co-creator Mark Frauenfelder, while other BoingBoing contributors will also host segments.
BoingBoing has inked a three month sponsorship deal with IBM to kick-off the show. You can see the first episode below.
