NEW YORK-Sept. 18, 2006--Warner Music Group (NYSE: WMG), and Brilliant Technologies Corporation (OTCBB: BLLN) today announced an agreement to offer music from WMG's world-renowned artists for streaming and limited download on Brilliant's Qtrax legal peer-to-peer (P2P) music network.

Qtrax is a groundbreaking ad-supported P2P digital content distribution system designed to provide the legal sharing, distribution and intellectual property protection of content while driving new revenue streams from legal P2P online sampling of music, and promoting digital purchase or subscription.

Audible Magic Corporation's digital fingerprinting and copyright filtering services will be used to limit unauthorized distribution of copyrighted content transferred via the Qtrax P2P network.

George White, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Product Development, WMG, said, "The Qtrax service represents an innovative business model, one that offers our artists another way to reach fans using the potential of peer-to-peer technology while ensuring they are fairly compensated for the use of their work."

Qtrax CEO, Allan Klepfisz added, "WMG, being the largest U.S.-based family of recorded music labels, has made major moves in the area of digital distribution, maximizing the earning potential of their extensive catalog. We are proud to be in their stable of preferred distributors and look forward to working with them on developing the multi-million-transaction-per month marketplace of P2P."

A leader in the sale and marketing of WMG's digital music content, WEA Corp. had the highest gain of digital track share of any major U.S. distributor in the first half of 2006, according to Nielsen SoundScan. In addition, WMG had four of the Top 10 highest-selling digital tracks including the No. 1 and No. 2 digital tracks, Daniel Powter's "Bad Day," and Sean Paul's "Temperature" in that period.
