Sunhawk Moves into Audio Distribution

January 20, 1999

Seattle-based Sunhawk.com, a pioneer in the delivery of digital sheet music to music buyers for major publishing clients such as Warner Bros. Publications and EMI Christian Music, is launching a complementary CD-quality audio delivery system featuring MPEG Audio Layer 3 software. The company will make the official announcement and demo the technology at the music industry's international symposium, MIDEM '99, in Cannes, France (January 24-28).

Sunhawk.com's new delivery system featuring SOLERO(R) 4.0 technology was designed to meet the needs of music publishers, composers and other members of the recording industry. Sunhawk.com offers the industry a suite of services, including distribution, e-commerce, royalty tracking and Internet retailing.

"We believe we are unique because our company provides copyright holders with the complete digital music solution, from audio, print and interactive content development and distribution to royalty payment, tracking and retail services," says Mr. Brent Mills, CEO, Sunhawk.com. "Our protected music delivery system has been tested for the past year and a half by major sheet music publishers. Expanding to the delivery of another content form, like CD-quality audio, was a natural extension for our company."

Sunhawk.com's delivery system uses SOLERO(R) technology to deliver high-quality music files to eager music buyers while protecting owners' copyrights. The company gives its music viewer software away for free allowing music buyers to preview and purchase audio and print music products online. Sunhawk.com's music viewer brings music fans 1-click closer to their favorite recording artists.

The software protects copyrighted content by embedding unique customer identification numbers into the delivery process. Copying and redistribution of the digital product on the Internet is inhibited with SOLERO(R)'s proprietary encryption engine. Sunhawk.com's music server software tracks delivery of the music to the end-user. The software provides copyright owners with royalty information and can restrict sales by territory. The system is fast, legal and plugs into Sunhawk.com's retail and music publishing software.

Sunhawk.com is a leading music retailer and software developer. The company provides a complete solution for the recording industry, from product distribution to end-user sales. SOLERO(R) provides copyright holders with a protected, legitimate system for delivering products to music buyers globally.
