It is believed the recorded music industry is undergoing significant change, with the primary means of distribution transitioning from physical formats like compact disc to digital formats over the Internet and wireless and cable networks. It is believed this change is occurring as a result of the popularity of portable digital music players and consumer acceptance and the music industry’s endorsement of legitimate digital music sales.
The legitimate digital music industry emerged in 2003 with the introduction of iTunes and other online music stores. Since iTunes introduction, there have been over 21 million iPods sold, with 6.2 million sold in the quarter ended June 25, 2005. iTunes is the dominant online music store with over 75% market share. The digital music market consists of primarily five significant online music stores offering music recordings in over 20 countries.
Industry sources estimate that the worldwide recorded music market was approximately $32 billion in 2004 and the digital music segment of this market represented approximately 1% in 2004 and it is expected to represent approximately 25% in 2009. The emergence of digital music has created additional outlets such as the purchase of digital music and other sound recordings through mobile phones. Consumers now purchase music in many different formats, including physical formats such as compact disc from traditional music and e-commerce retailers and digital formats through download or subscription services from online music stores.
Purchase of music in digital format offers many advantages to consumers over compact disc. Online music stores generally offer a larger music selection than traditional music retailers and also offer the ability to sample all of their digital music selections before purchase; are accessible 24-hours every day; offer the ability to purchase digital music as a single instead of an entire album; and enable the purchase of music in an easily portable format.

The Company offers a convenient means by which can access the digital music market. Content owners typically deliver to the Company and the physical media containing their music recordings to convert into the unique digital formats required by the various online music stores. Historically, the Company has received all music recordings on compact disc. The Company intends to assist content owners with any delivery and physical format conversion efforts by receiving the music recordings in their current state at the content owner’s location for processing by the Company and it also receives the periodic reports from the online music stores on behalf of the content owners that contain sales information for each of their recordings. Based on these reports, the Company prepares and provides summary reports to the content owners and pays the required royalties.
The Company acts as a volume supplier that aggregates digital music recordings from numerous content owners for the online music stores. The Company also increases the number and diversity of music recordings available for sale by the online music stores.
The Company actively seeks to identify the owners of music and other sound recordings and attempt to acquire the digital rights to such recordings worldwide. The Company focuses on acquisition by purchase or license of music recordings from owners of large numbers of recordings. The Company also allows smaller content owners to provide the Company with their music recordings for distribution in a cost-effective manner through its web-based self-service application called the Digital OnRamp. The Company uses its network of contacts in the music industry to identify and locate owners of content.
The Company generates revenue from its digital music rights by entering into agreements with online music stores that sells its music recordings to consumers.
