Immediatek and LCD Interactive Form Exclusive Partnership on Breakthrough
Technology to Enable Music Downloads While Protecting Copyrights


RICHARDSON, Texas, Dec 11, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Immediatek, Inc.
(OTCBB: MODG) today announced that it has formed a strategic alliance with LCD
Interactive, Inc., a privately held company that has developed breakthrough
technology enabling Internet music fans to download standard MP3 files directly
to their CD burners, while protecting the artists' copyrights.


Immediatek says the alliance with LCD, headquartered in Frisco, Texas, provides
the company with an exclusive agreement to further develop and co-market the
technology. Immediatek's CEO Zach Bair comments that the technology could
provide a standards-based solution for the music industry's burgeoning problems
with downloadable music. Immediatek has also entered early discussions
concerning the possible acquisition of LCD Interactive.

According to Bair and Paul Marin, CEO of LCD, the technology is in use on LCD's
Web site TwoBigToes.com, which has a library of more than 30,000 MP3 files from
independent artists and even some well-known artists such as multi-platinum
artist Shania Twain. Users are able to download and burn MP3 music files
directly to a CD-R, completely bypassing the user's hard disk, thereby offering
a secure way of legally delivering music to fans onto CD-Rs.

Artist's royalties are guaranteed and are tracked and paid through TwoBigToes'
unique "STAMPS" program, which stands for "Sales Trends And Music Payment
Status."

"The problem with software such as Napster and Gnutella is that files are freely
traded among users," says Bair. "With this technology, artists, labels, and
music distributors have a method to control copyrights utilizing standard MP3
files. No additional encryption is necessary."

Marin adds the technology is transportable and is being readied for other
formats such as DVD.

Immediatek expects to start discussions with major labels, artists and
distributors almost immediately, and two pending music-related agreements are
expected to be announced in the next several days.
