Mike Hugo: Looks like LOUD's response to the news last week had some effect on the stock price?

"Loudeye Statement in Response to Thursday's File-Sharing Ruling by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 2004 2:20 PM

SEATTLE, Aug 20, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- "We strongly support the record labels and movie studios in their fight against piracy. Although we believe peer-to-peer distribution technologies have many legitimate uses, it is also evident that they currently enable piracy at a massive scale. It is clear that as the market matures and peer-to-peer file sharing continues to grow, blocking acts of piracy and redirecting users to legitimate sources of music, films, games and software will become even more critical than it is today. We're pleased to offer content owners a comprehensive solution and a key weapon against peer-to-peer piracy in Loudeye's Overpeer services."

Marc Morgenstern, Vice President and GM of Loudeye's Digital Media Asset Protection and Promotion Business
