NOTICE OF COMPLAINT FILED WITH SEC
against MP3.com and Michael Robertson

Sirs:

This message is sent as formal Notice of my complaint filed with the SEC (U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission) against MP3.com and Michael Robertson.

Sincerely,
Help Desk

John Reed Stark
Chief, Office of Internet Enforcement

Dear Sir,

I am a shareholder of MP3.com. Because of my public criticism of their treatment of artists and musicians, they have censored my website at MP3.com (due to a protest song called, "What Went Wrong With MP3.com.")

In so doing, they kept income that I had earned through their "pay per play" program.

Now, they have sent several emails through their legal department trying to silence my public criticism.

1. Is censoring a shareholder's concerns illegal?
2. How does their lack of payment to me effect their reported earnings and filings with the SEC?
3. Also, I have made Michael L. Robertson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (as well as, owner of 33.6% of the shares outstanding) aware of my concerns. Is MP3.com required to release this information to the public?
4. Would withholding this information during their takeover by Vivendi Universal constitute a violation of "insider trading: buying or selling a security in breach of a relationship of trust and confidence while in possession of material, non-public information about the security."

Sincerely,
Help Desk
