6. Industry Overview

Business Software & Services

Industry Background

• The design, distribution, and protection all forms of digital content and software are experiencing an unprecedented amount of change.

• Entertainment content: with the expansion of high-bandwidth internet infrastructure and the industry shift to digital media, PC-based entertainment platforms, digital portable devices, Internet downloads and the proliferation of peer-to-peer file sharing networks, content and copyright owners are increasingly vulnerable to unauthorized use of their content.

• Increased sales of inexpensive, easy to use in-home copying devices, such as VCRs, CD and DVD recorders, and PC based hard drive recorders, consumers have the ability to make unauthorized copies of video, audio and software content.

7. Industry Regulation

Legislative and Regulatory Actions

A number of government and legislative initiatives have been enacted in recent years to encourage development and implementation of technologies that protect the rights and intellectual property of the content owners.

In the United States, Congress enacted the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in October 1998. This law required all VCRs to comply with analog copy protection technologies that are in widespread use, such as those covered in our patents, beginning in May 2000.

Europe and Japan have followed with this policy

8. Industry Regulation

The Internet Tax Freedom Act, or ITFA, which Congress extended until November 2007, among other things, imposed a moratorium on discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce. The imposition by state and local governments of various taxes upon Internet commerce could create administrative burdens for MVSN and could decrease our future sales.(10-K)
