GetAmnesty(TM) Anti-Piracy Solution to the Music Industry

Partnership to market, sell and distribute Nexicon's GetAmnesty
anti-piracy solution to the global music industry begins with the Frank
Zappa music catalog
MALIBU, Calif., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, Nexicon (Pink
Sheets: NXCO - News), an emerging provider of next generation digital
media protection and digital media business intelligence solutions, is
pleased to announce the formation of a partnership with PayArtists to
provide anti-piracy services for the music catalog of the legendary
musician Frank Zappa. PayArtists will leverage Nexicon's MARC(TM)
technology platform and GetAmnesty product to help music artists, record
labels and other copyright owners enforce their copyrights with music
fans who have illegally downloaded protected music.
PayArtists was formed by a group of three individuals that include Tommy
Funderburk, an internationally recognized songwriter and recording
artist, a prominent music industry lawyer, and an accomplished merchant
banker. As exclusive rights holders to Nexicon's applicable technologies
to address anti-piracy worldwide in the music industry, PayArtists will
monetize internet piracy of illegal music downloads, on behalf of
copyright owners. Music fans who have illegally downloaded music from a
PayArtists' client will receive an infringement notice via email
directing them to a unique artist-branded PayArtists site. Users then
have the option to settle with PayArtists, on behalf of the copyright
owner, to avoid potential litigation. Unlike other solutions to online
piracy, PayArtists provides the artists with revenue to compensate them
for their losses and to support the creation of new music for their
fans. Furthermore, PayArtists can provide touring artists with highly
targeted information regarding where their fan base resides worldwide,
for focused tour schedules. In the future, PayArtists will offer an
alternative music download option for music fans.
Having written and performed on hits with artists as diverse as Boston,
David Foster, Jimmy Page, Dwight Yoakam, REO Speedwagon, Whitesnake,
Starship, Yes, Celine Dion, Motley Crue, and many others, Funderburk
understands the copyright owner's dire need to protect their songs from
Internet piracy and also the artist's desire to provide their fans with
new options to enjoy music legally. "An entire Internet generation has
grown up apparently believing that all recorded music should be free for
the taking," said Funderburk. "How can artists continue to produce great
music or new artists develop a career if what the artists have worked so
hard to create is stolen? By partnering with and using Nexicon's
technology, we believe PayArtists can offer an exciting new way for
music fans to build direct relationships with artists and discover a
fair way to buy and share music."
"This is a major step for GetAmnesty and PayArtists to help to address
the significant Internet piracy problems plaguing the music industry,"
said Tommy Stiansen, Nexicon's CTO. "PayArtists has the industry
experience to reach the key players in the music business. Nexicon has a
highly advanced digital media protection solution. Together, we should
have a significant positive impact on behalf of music industry artists
and copyright holders."

A penny stock, currently trading around 3-cents per share. Just think
how many shares the cost of a Ms. Pinky will buy! [You'd just have to
get your cheap thrills through other means, or, patch the worn unit
you'd be replacing.] Even a bum with a Florsheim shoe could purchase
about 172 shares (disregarding any trading fees or expenses).
Now's the time to buy in case the stock gets back up to that 20-cents
per share valuation seen within the 52-week range.
