oldnirrelevant, how about next time you actually try contributing something useful to the conversation than just a pathetic and failed attempt at trolling, ok?

“A guy with a great project tries to create an alternative that any music lover will be thankful for and, surprise surprise, there is a change he would not survive this world economic crisis? Do you really need a conspiracy theory to believe that his VERY rich competitors will not be happy for the competition and might just possibly be involved in highlighting the weaknesses, scaring investors, shareholders, etc?”

First of all, what competitors are there in terms of offering ad-supported music downloads? Last I checked, the only true competitor, SpiralFrog, went under. Also, where is the proof that these so-called rich competitors are involved in so-called highlighting weaknesses, scaring investors, shareholders, etc. as you claim? I don’t see why Apple’s iTunes or Amazon’s AmazonMP3 would be afraid of BLLN’s Qtrax, a product that has failed at delivering on almost every single deadline it seems and whose parent company is worth only 2-3 cents, when Apple and Amazon have both built highly successful and profitable products in the marketplace. Please in the future Hatter state facts and not pure hearsay/speculation as fact.

“I am not a great conspiracy lover but I believe that when money, and potentially big money is involved, it is common sense, rather than conspiracy too expect that today’s market forces are very strong and are dominated by less and less players and that if someone has infinite amount of money, he might spend just a little of it to repress potential competitors.”

Again, please provide proof of such activities, otherwise, I am inclined to believe you are merely stating pure hearsay based on your own personal beliefs, rather than actual facts.

“If Qtrax will collapse, don’t hold your breath for ‘what will come next’ unless your dreams are fulfilled by the next iphone 3.blsht.”

Excuse me, but that seems are rather strange characterization of Apple’s iPhone (all three generations of it) given that it has sold over 20 million units since 2007. That sounds like a pretty successful product to me. Also what does the iPhone have to do with Qtrax offering ad-supported downloads? It sounds like you’ve committed yet another fallacy with the your above sentence Hatter.

“The money Qtrax and Brilliant are collecting is money they use to pay the labels, that is- money they collect to fulfill their project and debts.”

True, but they are also required to repay the creditors too, which judging from the court documents they are not doing.

“I must say I am extremely curious about your passion.”

The same could be said about you, however, in both cases, it would be irrelevant to the actual facts of the argument.

The bottom line here, Dr. Hatter, is that rather than address any of the accusations, whether biased or not, laid forth by Jakomi and TMV in this article with actual concrete facts, you simply engage in relentless fallacies in the form of misdirections, half-truths, ignorance, and verbal abuse of character.

Heard of the term called fallacy? You are committing one with the above sentence. You can be interested in a project and not believe it will be the next big thing. In the future, it might be prudent to actually formulate a valid argument.

“You guys should be honest and at least give Klepfitz the credit that he gives music a chance.”

Yes, Klepfisz does deserve credit for one thing: failing at every single turn. Have you forgotten about all the missed deadlines (including the recent non-existent blog that was suppose to launch yesterday on June 27th according to their update) and broken promises? BTW it’s quite suspicious how your blog appeared on the Qtrax site as an “independent” blog.
