IMPORTANT - Do You Publish With MP3

Gaida, a fellow subscriber, asked if I had received the
warning about making and selling products using
MP3 from Louis Allport.

I had but just in case you didn't, Gaida, from
http://www7.OnlineMasteryGold.com
and I want you to know so you can protect yourself.

Here's the warning we received with a link to
more information.

Hello Susan

I've only known about this for a few days, and it's got me
very worried...

If you publish any kind of MP3 audio online, there could be
a team of very high-priced lawyers after you soon.

Sadly, I'm not joking either.

I'm right now in the process of converting all my audio into
a different format, and if you publish any kind of MP3 audio
online I would strongly suggest you do the same.

The simple fact that I've become aware of in the last few
days is that MP3 audio is NOT free to distribute. Expensive
licensing fees are due to a billion dollar corporation.
And they're clamping down on this hard now.

To make online publishers aware of this issue, a press release
was sent out in the past 24 hours by online copywriter and
publisher Joe Robson.

He's also made a free report available to help guide you
through this situation and to help you get working with new
audio formats ASAP (these new formats do NOT have any
licensing fees of any kind, ever).

You can read the press release and download his free report
at the following address:

Sincerely,
Louis Allport

If your selling or creating products using MP3, please
heed this warning.

To Your Success,

Today I found out that Jim Edwards wrote about this whole MP3 issue. As he admits, he is not a lawyer so he is just stating his thoughts on the issue, however, he does include some good informational links. To read Jim's article, go to: http://www.igottatellyou.com/blog/archives/2005/06/the_great_mp3_d.html

Hope this helps.
