 "We're going to help monetize themselves through advertising," Kent said of Qtrax. "Everybody has been talking about the advertising model, but there's actually very few people that know how to make that happen. We proved in our time at SpiralFrog, by what we were able to put in place in terms of potential deals, that we knew how to make this happen."

'"Free is the new paid," said Kenneth Parks, chief operating officer of Brilliant Technologies, a company based in New York and Melbourne that is developing a service called Qtrax, which will provide free music — legally — to Internet users.'
