PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - July 11, 2007) - On Monday (July 9, 2007) The Amergence Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AMNG) (formerly SunnComm International), and its sales agent, MediaMax Technology (PINKSHEETS: MMXT), were unexpectedly served with a summons in a civil lawsuit brought by Sony-BMG. The suit alleges, among other things, that SunnComm's CD copy protection component, called MediaMax, was defective and that the small Phoenix-based company has a contractual obligation to indemnify the entertainment giant against consumer actions which Amergence believes resulted primarily from 1) Sony's under-tested release of a competitor's technology, and 2) BMG's "final authority" input in determining the functional specifications of the MediaMax copy protection.
