Subject: Mediaservices will address issues related to a business dispute
with the major record labels over the online music site
AllofMP3.com.

Universal (V), WarnerMusic (WMG), SonyBMG (SNE) and EMI (EMI.L)
have repeatedly mischaracterized the company as part of a
campaign to secure a more favorable royalty structure. Those
companies and their agents, the British Phonographic Industry
(BPI) and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) have
enlisted the British and U.S. governments as part of their
business campaign.

Mediaservices is convinced that its business model is legitimate
and that it maximizes demand for music and spurs consumers to
buy more music. The company believes that everyone wins, record
labels, artists and distribution companies when the market is
broader and deeper. Relying on a handful of artists for the
majority of sales is an outdated business model and recipe for
disaster for the music industry.

Note: A transcript of the press conference will not be available.
