NEW YORK, NY.

Beth Appleton, Head of New Media and Business Development for V2, remarked: 'V2 acknowledges the power of P2P technology and embraces business models that legitimise sharing music, building revenues for artists and labels.

The Qtrax service will provide the V2 stable of artists with a tremendous new outlet for connecting with fans and we are excited to be working with the Qtrax team as they gear up for launch.

'I cannot stress enough the importance the independent label sector's endorsement of Qtrax. In this regard, V2 UK is a critical piece of our global licensing strategy,' stated Allan Klepfisz, Brilliant's Chairman and CEO.

From the start, V2 has demonstrated forward thinking and a keen ability to recognize innovative new business models like Qtrax. We are truly heartened by the encouragement and support of the independent label and music publishing communities and we welcome V2 as one of its prominent members.
