Sunhawk Announces Internet-Based SOLERO(R)
System for Delivering Copyright-Protected CD-Quality Audio Securely
January 19, 1999Seattle-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.
