SunnComm Inc. Rolls Out Copy Protection Solution to Recording Industry
SunnComm Eliminates Piracy for Fahrenheit Recording Artists
PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 8, 2000--SunnComm Inc. (OTC:SUNX - news) Friday announced that it has signed an agreement with Fahrenheit Entertainment (OTC:FHOT - news) to allow their record label subsidiaries to utilize SunnComm's proprietary copy protection software.
Fahrenheit is the parent company of several well-known record labels, including Fahrenheit Records, Finer Arts Records, and Celsius Records and enjoys worldwide distribution of its high quality audio compact discs.
The licensing agreement permits the record company to release its audio compact disc with the SUN-X Sentinel® copy protection beginning in the first quarter 2001. Fahrenheit plans to release thousands of copy-protected compact discs monthly which will incorporate the SUN-X Sentinel® technology.
John D. Aquilino, chairman and chief technology officer for SunnComm said, ``SunnComm is very pleased about our licensing agreement with Fahrenheit Entertainment and their subsidiaries.''
``We have solved the problem,'' continued Aquilino. ``For the first time in the history of the music industry, a record label will release a compact disc that cannot be digitally copied. This is a very important first step toward stopping the unauthorized copying and distribution of digital music worldwide. Our SunnComm Copy Protection software and technology will make the leap from development to the recording industry.''
Peter Trimarco, president/chief executive officer of Fahrenheit commented, ``Upon seeing the technology and recognizing its potential, we are extremely excited to become the first American record label to take a pro-active role in the fight to protect the intellectual property rights of artists, producers and publishers.''
SunnComm Inc. owns patent applications designed to encrypt, compress, and copy-protect digital music, video and other intellectual digital properties as they are transmitted on the Internet, or recorded on compact discs or DVD.
The SunnComm patents and the continuing development of the technology offer the company proprietary opportunities within the entire entertainment and software industries, both nationally and internationally.
