Despite Pending Lawsuits Kazza Partner Altnet Inks Sublime/Silverback Entertainment Deal

"While a major court decision hangs over the head of Kazaa-owner Sharman Networks, new content deals continue to be signed. Most recently, Kazaa partner Altnet has inked a relationship with Caliplates Digital, the digital distribution arm of Silverback Entertainment. That will bring several big-name artists into the Altnet distribution system, which produces paid search results within the Kazaa P2P engine. Sublime, Fishbone, and the Long Beach Dub All Stars are just some of the artists that will get rolled into the new deal, along with a new album from Slightly Stoopid. Jon Phillips of Silverback Management was results-oriented when he spoke of the new relationship. "Slightly Stoopid currently has the #1 single on KROQ-FM Los Angeles, was just added to the west coast leg of the Dave Matthews Band summer tour and through integrated promotion via P2P, thanks to Altnet and Kazaa, we are achieving a milestone for them and our indie roster," Phillips said."
