ST. LOUIS, MO (August 7, 2003) '” 321 Studios, the leader in DVD back-up
software, announced today the launch of a nationwide initiative named Project X
Rescue. Under this initiative, 321 will donate DVD X Rescue or CD X Rescue, a
revolutionary technology which enables the recovery and restoration of data from
unreadable, scratched, corrupt or defective media, to libraries, schools,
universities, hospitals, religious and other non-profit organizations.
The DVD X Rescue and CD X Rescue
products were developed in response to consumers' frustration with imperfect
media sources, specifically the fragility of CDs and DVDs. Consumers publicly
logged complaints about a CD or DVD that skips, a photo disc with treasured
photos that could no longer be accessed, their garage band's live recordings
that skip and other personal and business technology dilemmas. 321 Studios
developed these new products to enable consumers and businesses alike to create
a brand new and problem-free copy of a DVD or CD from a damaged
original.
Recognizing that libraries, schools,
hospitals and non-profit organizations were most vulnerable because of their
reliance on DVDs and CDs that are used to back-up data, donor files, educational
materials, school records and other business critical information, 321
determined their need for products such as DVD X Rescue and CD X Rescue was
dramatic.
'Damage to the digital information these
organizations own and store can hinder its operations, impact its ability to
provide depended-upon community services and deprive citizens of access to
educational resources such as books on CDs," said Robert Moore, president of 321
Studios. 'For some organizations, the back-up information stored on the DVDs and
CDs is irreplaceable. For others, the cost of purchasing replacement products
would be overwhelming to their already taxed budgets. 321 Studios is committed
to ensuring that these community pillars are able to protect their digital
assets one school, one library, one church at a time and that is why we are
providing these organizations DVD X Rescue and CD X Rescue free of
charge."
In conjunction with the free online
offer available immediately, 321 Studios will embark on a national tour in the
fall to hand deliver DVD X Rescue and CD X Rescue to worthy organizations. The
company expects to host events in New York City, Washington DC, St. Louis, San
Francisco and Dallas.
Utilizing a DVD or CD burner, DVD X
Rescue and CD X Rescue create brand new, perfectly playable DVDs or CDs from the
damaged original.
Non-profit organizations, , libraries, schools,
universities, hospitals, and religious organizations can request their
complimentary DVD X Rescue or CD X Rescue by visiting www.321studios.com and completing the required forms.
DVD X Rescue and CD X Rescue will be available on
September 3, 2003 for retail purchase from 321 Studios at www.321studios.com or by calling 866-DVD-COPY
(866-383-2679) and in retail stores
