`Sell Your Music Online
`
`Indie 1000
`
`Now you can put your music directly into the
`hands - and ears - of millions of people who can
`decide for themselves if they like what they
`hear. Liquid Audio provides tools to distribute
`CD quality, copyright protected audio over the
`Internet, so you can play, promote, and sell you
`music to a worldwide audience - without
`compromise. Additionally, Liquid Audio provides the Indie 1000 Spotlight ,
`an area dedicated to promoting and displaying the albums and artists
`currently in the Indie 1000 program.
`
`How It Works
`
`With the Indie 1000 program, fans who visit your website will be able to
`listen to your music with the highest quality sound available on the Internet
`using the Liquid MusicPlayer. They will also be able to purchase your music
`in Liquid Track format for download onto their PCs. Once the Liquid Tracks
`have been downloaded, they may be played on your PC sound system or
`stored permanently on CD-Recordable disk, which can then be played in any
`standard CD player.
`
`Sell Up To Fifteen Songs
`
`As a Liquid Audio Indie 1000 member, you get to include up to fifteen
`different songs for music consumers to buy and download to their PCs. This
`means you could sell different songs from different albums or an entire
`album of songs. You also get to have up to fifty preview clips of your songs
`for fans to browse. Links will be available for you to connect to online
`retailers. Millions of music fans will be able to order your CD's or download
`your singles.
`
`Safe, Secure Sound
`
`The Liquid Audio system combines sophisticated multi-layer encryption with
`inaudible digital watermarking technology to protect your intellectual
`property. This advanced system provides the most comprehensive, anti-copy
`and anti-piracy technology available today. The music stays with the person
`who paid for it and no one else. Liquid Audio's security partners include Intel
`Corporation and RSA Data Systems, the leading supplier of encryption tools.
`
`Instantly Connect to Music Fans
`
`When a music fan wants to buy your music they just click on 'Buy Download'
`in the Liquid MusicPlayer and enter the necessary payment information. You
`determine the price for the songs. You can even make your songs available
`for free for promotional purposes. Fans can also use the 'Order CD' to
`purchase the complete CD for shipment directly to their homes.
