Dear EMusic Subscriber, Over the past several weeks we have noticed unusual activity on your EMusic account. Your account has been identified as having download activity far in exceeding that of the overwhelming majority of subscribers. Although EMusic's goal has been to help consumers discover, sample and download a wide range of music for personal use and enjoyment, EMusic cannot continue to operate as a legal source for indiscriminate downloading of copyrighted sound recordings and musical compositions. Unlike other online music subscription services, EMusic has gone to great lengths to provide an open, easy-to-use service, for a reasonable price. Without regard to content hosting, serving and administrative expenses, royalties payable to recording artists and/or songwriters with respect to every downloaded track no longer affords EMusic the luxury of taking these matters lightly. In order to maintain EMusic's low price while providing a flexible and compelling service, we must focus on limiting instances of service-abuse by monitoring the site for unusual activity. Examples of service-abuses include, but are not limited to, password sharing and use of automated systems to download quantities of tracks far beyond one's reasonable personal use. Accounts found to be used in violation of the expressed or implied guidelines of EMusic's service are subject to immediate cancellation. (See EMusic.com's Subscription Agreement at http://www.emusic.com/bem/new_signup/terms.html, particularly the termination provisions set forth in Section 7.1.) We ask that you carefully consider these guidelines and the EMusic.com Subscription Agreement terms and conditions as you use the service in the future. Sincerely, EMusic.com
