File sharing network Qtrax, which was promising it’s users legal and absolutely free music in return for advertising, had signed a contract with Universal (one of the biggest record labels), notes The Guardian.
A company is saying that their website will incorporate Universal’s music catalogue very soon. Right now Qtrax is offering only TVT Records’ music, and in the following few weeks it shall include tracks given by Beggars Banquet Records and Finetunes, said Wired.
Also, Qtrax is currently making deals with EMI Publishing and Sony/ATV Music Publishing, but their tracks are not available yet.
Before Qtrax was opened they were promising to make twenty five million music tracks available for free, and kept convincing that deals will be made with all major record labels. Later, record companies like Warner, EMI and Universal have denied this information, and Qtrax was forced to stop free music uploading in order to escape legal problems.
