Sony-BMG Files Suit Against Amergence Group

Amergence and Its Sales Agent, MediaMax Technology, Intend to Employ All Defenses at Their Disposal to Defend Themselves Against What They Believe Are Unwarranted Allegations by the Entertainment Giant

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.
