--- From: Hugh Lilly <h.lilly@private> Organization: http://hugh.orcon.net.nz To: Dave Farber <dave@private>, Declan McCullagh <declan@private> Subject: Re: [IP] more on "Shift Key Breaking CD Copy Protection Technology" Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2003 13:57:26 +1300 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Declan, Dave, After successfully getting rid of the horrible flash intro on SunnComm's confusing and very badly-designed website[1], one is presented with the following statement: Important Notice to SunnComm Shareholders and Prospective Shareholders SunnComm Technologies, Inc. is a Phoenix, AZ company whose stock is publicly traded in the Over-the-Counter (OTC) market under symbol STEH. Our 3-year old company is currently in the development stage of its life cycle and, to date, has earned only insignificant revenue from sales of its products. It is the intention of management to remain a non-reporting company listed on the "The Pink Sheets" until such time as the company reports significant sales of its technology. It is within the corporation's legal rights to elect this option. However, this means that you, the investor or interest-holder, will not be afforded public access to regular company audits and therefore you must solely rely on the company's press releases, news stories, or other publicly available information. Not having access to audit detail or other significant reporting dynamics can put SunnComm shareholders or interest-holders, at a significant disadvantage from a risk standpoint. Due to SunnComm's current, legal, non-disclosure status, your investment in SunnComm may carry with it an even higher degree of risk than that of other publicly traded companies which are currently fully reporting. Because of our non-reporting status, SunnComm's management feels you need to understand these very important facts prior to making a decision to invest in the company's shares, and you should also be totally aware that you run the risk of losing your entire investment should you make the decision to purchase shares in SunnComm. If you have additional questions regarding this notice or anything you may read on SunnComm's website, we urge you to contact company directly. Thank you for giving me this moment of your time. Please click the button below to acknowledge reading the above and to access The SunnComm Website. Thanks for stopping by, [petersig.gif] I have read the statement In order to get into the site you have to click on "I have read the statement" which then sends you to [2]the main section of the site, all horribly done in flash. There are a few other interesting parts of their site: "Here's your chance to ask SunnComm's President, Peter Jacobs, any questions you may have; SunnComm will NEVER share your email address with anyone...period!" http://www.sunncomm.com/asktheprez/asktheprez.asp There have been some very interesting questions asked on the site, and they all seem to have good answers: Q: Iīve heard your technology can be hacked. Does that mean it wonīt "work?" (10/6/2003 7:37:18 PM) A: Not at all. People who perform tests on MediaMax and declare it to be "hackable" donīt understand why itīs there in the first place. Let me tell you why: 1. All technology can be "hacked" by people wishing to make illegal and unauthorized use of the content ownersī property. Prior to MediaMax, there was no alternative to the illegal copying and re-copying of music by users. Now with MediaMax on the CD, honest people have a way of honoring the artistīs wishes regarding how and where the music property can be copied and shared. [...] Then there's the "news" page: http://www.sunncomm.com/news/listnews.asp But the newest article they've linked to is this: 09/24/2003 AFP [3]US firm hopes anti-piracy CD will rock blackmarket The other interesting section of their site is the [4]Press Releases page. The SunnComm CEO Says Princeton Report Critical of its MediaMax CD Copy Management Technology Contains Erroneous Assumptions and Conclusions http://www.sunncomm.com/press/printpr.asp?prid=200310091000 You can sign up for press releases etc. here: http://www.sunncomm.com/sunngramm/sunngramm.asp [1] The non-flash front page[a] has this on it: This site requires Flash player 6.
