RICHARDSON, Texas, April 29, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- JC Chasez, best known for being one-fifth of *NSYNC, has chosen NetBurn Secure(tm) to premiere a previously unreleased bonus track on his website www.musicfreedom.com that fans can download for free. Using the NetBurn Secure(tm) technology, the song will have the best protection available against online music piracy. NetBurn Secure is a new form of copy control technology that enables artists to release digital tracks securely.
Zach Bair, CEO of Immediatek (OTCBB:ITEK) and creator of NetBurn(tm) and NetBurn Secure(tm), is committed to allowing artists the right to be creative and to produce music without the threat of illegal downloading.
"We're excited to be working with JC and Jive Records, and we hope that more major artists will step up and see how the NetBurn technology not only empowers the artist, but helps to preserve their revenue stream when used in a commercial setting," said Bair.
JC Chasez's new online bonus track, "Slept With My Best Friend," (Jive) is available exclusively through the NetBurn technology.
"Schizophrenic," JC's solo debut, was released in February 2004 on Jive Records, and is available for sale on musicfreedom.com, among others. This summer he will be touring the U.S. in clubs and as the opening act for Britney Spears on select dates.
NetBurn Secure(tm) is a revolutionary "single-click CD download and burn" product that helps record labels, artists, and content providers to curb Internet piracy and protect their revenues. It is the only solution of its kind available, and fills a void left by common DRM (digital rights management) technology.
