MyWeb Inc.com Settles
Copyright Lawsuit

March 27, 2000
MyWeb Inc.com [AMEX:MWB] has settled the suit brought against it in
China by the IFPI, a trade organization representing 1,400 record
producers and distributors in 76 countries, claiming that MyWeb
engaged in unauthorized use of their recordings on the Net.
The Chinese lawsuit was a civil matter filed in China by four IFPI
members: China Record, Sony Music, Universal Music, and Warner Music.
Although MyWeb is headquartered in San Francisco, the IFPI lawsuit
was filed in the Second Intermediary People's Court of Beijing in
December 1999. The suit complained that MyWeb had set up Web pages on

the sound recordings of IFPI members, in MP3 format through
hyperlinks and search engines.
