Multi-Platinum Grammy-Award Winning Artist Sananda Maitreya Becomes The First Major Artist To Fully Embrace File Sharing With His Own Branded P2P File Sharing Software.

TrustyFiles-powered P2P software gives Sananda Maitreya the hardline direct to his fans to share, try, and buy his latest songs.

DALLAS, USA and MILAN, ITALY, October 5, 2004 -

Sananda Maitreya developed an innovative launch for his

“Angels & Vampires” project that features his own version of

TrustyFiles P2P (Peer to Peer) file sharing software. The

campaign includes distribution of Weed format files over the

major P2P networks. Sananda Maitreya also is exclusively

making two new songs and a video available only through P2P.

“It’s not enough to just create protected files and say ‘here’s my

music, please download,’” said Sananda Maitreya. “We have a

fantastic group of fans. I owe them my success. RazorPop’s

P2P Street Team captures the spirit of fan support and extends it

into file sharing. Their custom TrustyFiles software is perfect for

me to ask my fans to share my music and at the same time

continue to stay close to them.”

Marc Freedman, founder and CEO of RazorPop said “We’ve

worked with Heart and Steve Winwood on previous P2P

promotions. The power of P2P for legitimate music is clear. The

Heart campaign outsold iTunes. When Sananda Maitreya came

to us, we decided to take P2P marketing to the next level.”

“We’ve made TrustyFiles software highly customizable. A

popular feature is the P2P News Channel. It’s a fixed

window on the software display that gives the artist, distributor,

or marketer a permanent presence to encourage free or

protected file sharing, show the latest promotions, and display

breaking news. 50% of Internet users share music and other

files. If you’re a major artist, shouldn’t your fans and web visitors

be sharing files on software with your name and logo, where you

can directly sell your digital downloads, CDs, DVDs, and other

merchandise?”

As part of the campaign, his video “Bella Faccina” and songs “Glad She’s Gone” and “She knows I’m Leaving” are only available to the file sharing community.

Sananda Maitreya’s music and video are directly promoted on

the Sananda Maitreya and regular TrustyFiles P2P software.

Other P2P users can find the music and video hosted on

business class servers through searches on all major networks.

Web surfers can download the music at TopP2P.com. The

files are in Windows Media Player format and can be played on

most major media player software and portable music player

devices. The songs are packaged as Weed files, which allow three

plays before the song must be purchased. New Weed users get

$5 to buy their first few songs free.

RazorPop’s P2P distribution partner is Intent Mediaworks, an

online artist marketer. Intent Mediaworks provides

comprehensive P2P file hosting and distribution, including media

digitization, file protection, and distribution to all major P2P

networks.

Sananda Maitreya won a Grammy Award in 1989 for best Male

R&B Vocal. His multi-platinum album “Introducing The Hardline

According To” sold over 12 million albums and was the #1

Billboard Chart R&B Album in 1988. His smash single “Wishing
