The Internet presents great opportunities along with enormous challenges, and as the electronic age is changing the very nature of the music business, our fundamental goal will always be to continue to provide enhanced services to our publisher clients in the fastest, most efficient and most economical manner possible. And if that doesn't work, there's always carrier pigeon."
