Quo vadis, Qtrax?

Qtrax, ostensibly the first free and legal P2P service, went live yesterday to all sorts of questions. If there record labels didn’t sign any deals with the service, whose music would it be serving? Why would it make such a hullabaloo about its launch if the man behind the curtain was asleep? Will the source code for its main software component be released? (Qtrax is based on Songbird, which is GPL’d.) If so, what’s to stop “hacked” builds from connecting to the service?
This phrase I’ve read on many forums pretty much sums it all up: “Gnutella with DRM? Awesome!”
Good luck, bro.

Was that picture taken at a christian rock concert? Praise jesus! You can’t deny Jesus was cool. If you would of just stopped being a wussy and got his number at that party last saturday you could call him up and chillax, hes a alright dude. Hes pretty good at halo but he doesn’t really like being around the heavy shit (if you know what I mean). Hes been going pretty straight edge lately. It’s a shame Jesus Christ used to be a lot of fun until that whole Monothesim thing got ahold of him.
