MOL Media and Qtrax Enter Into Strategic Partnership


NEW YORK and KUALA LUMPUR, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


MOL Media to Market Qtrax Free and Legal Music Downloads in Malaysia and other 

                          Southeast Asian Communities


    MOL Media Sdn. Bhd. and Qtrax Inc. (www.Qtrax.com) today announced a strategic partnership to market Qtrax

free and legal high quality music downloads in Malaysia and other selected Southeast Asian communities.


    According to Mr. Ganesh Kumar Bangah, Chief Executive Officer of MOL: "The Qtrax value proposition is their

vast music and related content library that is killer content in today's fast moving internet industry." He added: "The

launch of Qtrax in the region is well timed as the public realizes that peer-to-peer music download services while

popular, are illegal. The launch of Qtrax will enable Asian consumers to listen to music free and legally while

helping compensate artists for their hard work. The availability of such a service is long overdue in the region. MOL

Media will direct traffic from our sites as well as our affiliate sites to further promote Qtrax and we are confident that

local advertisers will come onboard."


    Mr. Allan Klepfisz, President and CEO of Qtrax said: "We expect to be announcing partnerships throughout Asia

in the period prior to launch and we are thrilled to begin with MOL. Ganesh has created an impressive, cutting-edge

organization with MOL via their various businesses including those of their associate, the Berjaya Corporation

Group of companies. They will be able to add considerable value in terms of traffic and advertisers. Additionally,

their global payment system will prove very useful in monetization for us moving forward."


    Mr. Jay Berman, Co-Chair of the Qtrax Advisory Board, commented: "Having spent many years as Chairman

and CEO of the RIAA and subsequently the IFPI, in promoting respect for music copyright, I'm pleased that Qtrax

will spearhead, together with substantial regional partners, a vastly superior alternative to pirate sites- something

that has been sorely lacking."


    Mr. Blake Indursky, EVP of Qtrax observed: "I have been involved in several of the negotiations that Qtrax has

undertaken in the region and cannot help feel that history is in the making."
