ADVERTISERS

We hope that in the future, Kazaa will be one of our largest advertisers on the

     Network.

 

On October 13, 2010, we amended  our existing Kazaa marketing agreements with Brilliant Digital in exchange

     for 4,161,430 shares of our common stock.  We also entered into an agreement to acquire all of the assets of

     Brilliant Digital that relate to the Kazaa digital music subscription business for an additional 7,125,665 shares.

In connection with our acquisition of the Kazaa assets, in November, 2010, we announced that we are

    undertaking a restructuring of our existing operations, and of the Kazaa business that Brilliant Digital is engaged

    in, to reduce certain operational expenditures and to improve efficiencies in product development and sales

    and customer acquisition outcomes for the Kazaa digital music service.  As a result of the restructuring, we

    expect to be able to achieve fixed operating cost savings of between 30%-50%.

Acquisition of Kazaa

We are acquiring all of the assets associated with the Kazaa business, including the Kazaa trademark and

     associated intellectual property (kazaa.com, etc.), as well as a content management system, a content delivery

     platform and customer service platform, and licenses with rights’ holders. We are also assuming certain limited

     working capital liabilities.  

We expect that our special meeting, where stockholder will vote to approve the Kazaa acquisition will be in the

     first quarter of 2011.  

 

The Kazaa digital music service is our principal premium direct-to-

     consumer subscription product.  

Subscription Products

  We currently have 217,000 paying subscribers across all of our products.

  Because we are proficient in multiple billing platforms, we are able

  to create subscriber acquisition efficiencies.

  Ringtone.com, billed to a user’s mobile device, allows consumers to

     download premium ringtones.

  Our casual game subscription services have a broad selection of

      popular digital games, including top-rated games Zuma™, Diner

      Dash®, and World Series of Poker® Pro Challenge.

The Final (Efficient) Frontier

There is no one correct answer, rather there is a frontier of efficient marketing spending – described as the

     highest life time value LTV that can be achieved for a given subscriber acquisition cost (SAC)

Solving an Optimization Problem:  What should we pay for a subscriber?

By improving the product, modifying pricing, billing efficiently, reducing churn and increasing utilization, we

     can maximize LTV, given a level of SAC

By validating leads, monitoring our marketing channels, engaging in SEO and better SEM practices, and

     utilizing alternative marketing approaches, we can minimize SAC, given a level of LTV

We are focused on cost-effectively acquiring customers through multiple

    online distribution channels: Affiliate marketing, search, social media,

    display, email/SMS and organic/SEO.  

A Disciplined Approach to Marketing

Multi Channel, Disciplined Approach. Focused on ROI

We also have a  network of our own media, consisting of music, games

    and  lifestyle web sites and proprietary content to attract consumers.

We are disciplined marketers.  We are constantly optimizing marketing

    spend with respect to number of subscribers, revenue and costs.

We employ a comprehensive data strategy to validate and enhance our data

    using a highly advanced data validation platform to improves targeting  and

    billability.

 

Merchandizing and Content

Kazaa is a fully licensed digital music subscription service.  We pay rights’ holders royalties on tracks

    downloaded or streamed.  Our subscribers have access to millions of tracks.

In conjunction with our product roadmap, we are continually enhancing and improving Kazaa to offer users

     improved functionality and better search capabilities.

As subscribers browse, search and listen to music, Kazaa provides users with detailed  information on

     tracks or albums, along with popular rankings and music charts and other rankings.   

We are implementing a comprehensive communications strategy, including employing email and SMS to

     communicate with our users in a relevant way to improve retention and to encourage utilization.  

Kazaa presents its content in a variety of customized and personalized formats, including allowing users to flag

    and access favorite tracks, build and edit playlists and also to see recently played tracks.

Utilizing proprietary preference and rankings technology, Kazaa offers radio features, which are automatically

     generated playlists generated around individual tracks, and provides intelligent recommendations  based on

     listener habits and user preferences.

Our merchandizing strategy is geared towards improving customer retention and increasing LTVs.

We are employing  social media to advertise to other Facebook users what a Kazaa user is listening to and are

     developing off site streaming .

 

Product Roadmap

Other short term product development includes optimizing Kazaa for

     mobile viewing and usage, providing a download player with side loading

     and greater merchandizing capability.  

On an ongoing basis, we continue to enhance and improve the user

     experience  through preference engine improvements and search

     capabilities and GUI modifications.

Our product strategy is focused on increasing retention and LTVs and reducing churn

As a result of these ongoing improvements, we already see increased

    utilization and access.

Medium term product development initiatives include mobile applications to

    enable subscribers to stream and download music on the iPhone and iPad

    and on mobile devices with Android, Blackberry and Windows Mobile 7

    operating systems.  

 

Proficiency in Multiple Billing Platforms

Billing & Pricing

We create customer acquisition efficiencies relative to traditional

     direct marketers, who may only offer a single billing modality –

     credit cards. Thus, we are able to expand our potential customer

     base, attracting consumers who prefer not to use a credit card.

We own 36% of The Billing Resource, LLC (“TBR”), one of only a

handful of local exchange carrier fixed-line billing aggregators in

the United States.

In addition to agreements with multiple aggregators who have

access to U.S. carriers – both wireless and landline – for billing,

we also have an agreement in place with AT&T Wireless to distribute

and bill for our services directly to subscribers on its network.

BILLING PARTNERS

Pricing Strategy

In conjunction with the rollout of our Kazaa mobile product and

     mobile apps, we are constantly testing and incorporating alternative

     price points to maximize retention and LTV   

Kazaa now offers a mobile phone-billed $9.99 per month product and

     is developing multi-tiered pricing to deliver different value

     propositions for all market segments.

 

Billing Alternatives

We have approximately 217,000 subscribers and today

     subscriptions represents approximately 50% of our  

     revenues.  Approximately 35% of subscribers billed on

     mobile, 41% billed on telephone land lines and  24% billed

     by credit card.

Operating Leverage

High variable cost structure and relatively low fixed costs, allows us to respond to market
conditions

Significant variable cost component in our business model improves operating leverage (increasing  predictability

     and transparency). Cost of media, or subscriber acquisition expense, as a percentage of revenue, is expected to

     fall over time.

Long Tails

Long subscriber tails are a benefit of our recurring revenue business model

Initial “investment” in new subscribers results in short term loss, but then the recurring revenue

    stream turns profitable and then continues to pay back.
