AN URGENT MESSAGE TO RECORDING ARTISTS

SoundExchange is the entity that collects and distributes broadcast
royalties from digital distribution of music. This includes streaming
Internet broadcasts (not downloads) and satellite radio services. These
royalties have been payable since February 1, 1996. If your music has
been played on the Internet since that date, you are entitled to a
share of the royalties.

On December 15, 2006, any royalties that are unclaimed for performances
up through March 31, 2000 WILL BE FORFEITED.

If you, as an individual or as a member of a recording group, are not
registered with SoundExchange by December 15, 2006, you will lose all
rights to your royalties earned before March 31, 2000.

There are thousands of identified artists who will lose these royalties
unless they act before the deadline. SoundExchange has listed these
"unfound" artists on their website.

Take the time to read the list. If you are on it, follow the
instructions for filing a claim. It costs you nothing and it does not
take much time. If you register now, you will receive the unclaimed
royalties and will received future royalties automatically.

Friends and families of recording artists should also check the list.
If you know anyone on there, PLEASE LET THEM KNOW IMMEDIATELY. You will
note that there are a number of deceased performers on the list. If you
know any surviving relatives, let them know about this.

This money belongs in the hands of the artists who created the music.
