Press Release Summary: Security Spending and Copyright Legislation To Protect
Filmmakers in Transition

Press Release Body: POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC - July 10, 2008 -
DigitalMediaStocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the digital media sector
within Investorideas.com, reports on industry developments in the digital media
sector. As attention shifts to focusing on the impact of digital downloads of
movies and TV, comparable to the dramatic shift in the music industry, how is the
industry reacting? From analyst downgrades to new legislation, to shifts in spending
in security, the industry is in transition.

Lehman analyst Anthony DiClemente shook up the industry with his recent downgrades
and comments, \"Shifts from physical to digital will disrupt the marginal economics
of the TV and movie businesses, just as it did for music.\"

Canadian Industry Minister Jim Prentice recently introduced new federal copyright
legislation in the House of Commons, stating, \"With this bill, we have introduced
important measures to support industries whose success depends on copyright --
software companies and filmmakers, for example. We are providing stronger protection
of digital locks online so that companies that choose to use them in their business
models will have the support of the law. We have also introduced stronger provisions
to address Internet piracy.\"

Leading expert on IT spending, purchases, budgeting trends, and tech sector
economics, Andy Bartels at Forrester, recently noted,\" Many products, such as
security software, are viewed as essential by corporate tech buyers.

In a previous DigitalMediaStocks.com interview, Patrick Gregston of USA Video
Interactive Corp. (OTCBB: USVO) (CDNX: US.V) provides listeners with the
significance of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment's implementation of
MediaEscort(TM). MediaEscort(TM) is currently being deployed to protect the Studio\'s
filmed entertainment content that is streamed via the Internet to its various trade
business partners in advance of DVD availability.

New technologies are popping up like PopTok's ( http://www.poptok.com) messenger
chat application that has licensed clips of scenes, gestures and great movie and
music lines from partners including Sony, Universal, Warner and Paramount studios.


In a June update from Sony, the company stated, " The business environment in which
Sony operates is changing rapidly and, with the advance in digital technology and
broadband networks, technological innovation is moving at a pace never experienced
before."

As the entertainment industry reports DVD sales are down, they have to turn to new
technology that can enable the transition to online distribution.
