MCY Music Tackles RIAA MP3 Challenge
Music Business Daily

On January 24, 1999, MCY MUSIC will be launching MCY.COM, an online digital
distribution service consumers can use to select, record and purchase music
and music-related products and services. Bernhard Fritsch, CEO and President
of MCY MUSIC, states: "The music industry is about to undergo a radical shift
in the way that music is sold and distributed to the consumer market. Digital
downloading will give consumers the ability to record music from the Internet
and tailor their musical selections to meet their specific tastes, making
music purchases easier, faster and cheaper." (See CNET Online story about MYC

the RIAA’s recent appeal to the recording industry to develop and implement a
Secure Digital Music Initiative (SMDI), MCY MUSIC has disclosed their unique
encrypted MP3 format which will be used on the soon to be launched MCY.COM
site. Fritsch is available to discuss details of MCY.COM, and how the raging
MP3 controversy impacts the music industry and consumers.
