Music consumers say there is a void in “live music” options
Digital music has given consumers easy and increased options to purchase audio, but has done little to nothing to give consumers the live music “experience”

DC3 Direct to Artist Model is timely, adds value
We split revenues 50/50 with artists & retain FULL digital rights to the work.
Artists are highly motivated and provide rare access and rights (see Creed case study on page 14).
Artists turn over the crown jewels to us: Their Fan Club lists and databases, this creates a “viral loop of promotion/awareness”
Artists fleeing record labels in droves (Radiohead, Dave Matthews, Buffett etc.)
U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 allows artists to take control of their work.Post - 1978 works revert back to artists in 35 yrs (2013).
DC3 is the exclusive video producer for Azoff Management Led by Irving Azoff, CEO Ticketmaster Roster of 200+ premiere artists including The Eagles, Van Halen, etc.

Case Study: Creed demonstrates the model
We heavily relied on fan websites, Facebook and Twitter to get the word out about 1) the Overcome Music Video/Single, 2) Houston Concert & Live Stream 3) Webisodes featuring the band. The webisodes allowed the band members to candidly talk about their “growing pains” and the Full Circle tour, forthcoming album and the spirit of reuniting.
Rockpit syndicated the webisodes to our content partners:
In addition, to syndicating content and social media marketing, Rockpit streamed the September 25 concert live from Houston via the Rockpit.com consumer website. 200,000 viewers accessed the live stream for free.
