SunnComm Ups
CD Security Another Notch
MediaMax(TM) Adds Another Level Of Security While Remaining Compact Disc
Compatible
PHOENIX, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/12/2005 -- MediaMax
Technology Corp. (OTC BB: MMXT), seller of MediaMax, America's most accepted and
best-selling content protection and enhancement technology for audio CDs,
unveiled its next weapon in an arsenal to curb the rampant piracy that has had
such a harmful impact on artists, producers, sound engineers, record labels and
music stores.
The first of these incremental content protection components was first
announced by SunnComm International Inc. (OTC: SCMI) in July 2004. This newest patent-pending passive
technology makes it even more difficult to bypass or "hack" the copy protection
structure contained on the MediaMax CDs. Other companies have experimented with
various forms of "passive protection technology" over the years but the process
inevitably led to incompatibility and playability issues that severely impacted
consumer acceptance. SunnComm's most recent passive protection solution
continues to be Redbook and Bluebook compliant. In plain English, that means
that CDs containing the MediaMax content protection and enhancement technology
can continue to carry the "Compact Disc Enhanced CD" compatibility logo: http://www.sunncomm.com/images/cd_plus.jpg
Eric Vandewater, SunnComm's chief technology officer, explains, "No company
has invented a bulletproof copy protection solution that continues to provide
100% playability on all consumer CD and DVD devices. However, this
patent-pending component will now make it substantially more difficult for those
wishing to make unauthorized copies to improperly copy or share protected music
on a MediaMax CD, without compromising playability. This increased level of copy
protection security requires no additional hardware or other production facility
modifications during the replication process. In the past, with other
technologies, required upgrades at the replication facility always represented
significant additional expense and training. Without the need to add equipment
and modify processes at each replication plant employed by our record company
customers, worldwide rollout of the MediaMax product can be lightning quick and
economical. I believe there is nothing commercially available today that
compares to our current MediaMax offerings. Our fast-reacting, technology team
is second to none in our market!"
William H. Whitmore, Jr., president of MediaMax Technology, comments,
"SunnComm's research and development group has remained extremely efficient,
thereby maintaining their Company's leadership position within the entertainment
technology industry. Their hard work and commitment assures us that SunnComm
will continue to break new ground without losing sight of the CD buyers' wishes
to Play, Move and Share™ music in an authorized way. MediaMax Technology is
committed to working closely with SunnComm to incrementally increase the
protection provided by MediaMax without impacting compatibility and playability,
reinforcing it as the most widespread and strongest music CD security solution
available in the U.S. Nothing is more important to us than creating a product
that fosters a user-friendly, enjoyable experience and acceptance by the CD
buying audience."
