Universal Music Group (UMG) Expands Digital Music & Video Distribution Agreement With Destiny Media Technologies' Play MPE(R)
Destiny's Proprietary Platform Will Provide Secure Distribution of UMG
Pre-Release Digital Media
NEW YORK and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 6 --
Universal Music Group (UMG), the world's leading music company, and Destiny
Media Technologies (OTC Bulletin Board: DSNY) announced today that they
have expanded their digital media distribution services agreement to
include UMG's affiliates in Canada and Mexico. Under this multi-year
agreement, Destiny Media remains the primary, and only company-wide
platform, for the global distribution of UMG's pre-release digital media in
North America.
"This agreement further expands UMG's ability to utilize Play MPE's(R)
digital distribution platform which replaces the costly traditional system
of delivering promotional CDs using couriers and express mail," stated
Vincent Freda, UMG's Executive Vice President, Digital Logistics and

enhances our control over unauthorized copying, shortens distribution lead
times, and provides superior data tracking."
"We are pleased that Universal Music Group has chosen to expand its
relationship with us. We've been working with their staff since our first
pilot in 2004 and we look forward to continuing to grow their usage both in
and outside of the United States," added Steve Vestergaard, CEO of Destiny.
