Sorry it's been so long since our last update. Here
is a quick run-down of what's been going on...

1.	LYRICS/COPYRIGHT STUFF

Most of you are aware of the current copyright
stuff that we're dealing with right now.  At the
current time, we're no longer allowed to post any
songs from Brentwood-Benson music, which includes
such great groups at Third Day, Jars of Clay, FFH,
and many others.

However, we're in the process of removing the
lyrics from our entire archive, which will serve
two purposes:
1) It will make us completely legal.  After
researching copyright laws for quite a while, I've
come to the conclusion that posting the lyrics on
the site is a violation of copyright law, whether
the companies pursue us or not.
2) Hopefully it will allow us to start posting
Integrity, Vineyard and Brentwood songs again in
the near furture.  I'm still talking with all of
them about the logistics of it, but I think we'll
likely have those songs back on the site
(lyric-free, of course) sometime soon.

2.	LISTEN

We've just opened up a new section which allows
you to listen to clips of new and upcoming CDs!
We have clips from three songs from each CD in
that section, and you can stream the clips in
either Windows Media or RealPlayer format.  Check
it out!

3.	MESSAGE BOARDS

The message boards continue to grow at a
staggering rate.  We're now over 4,000 members,
and we're closing in on 300,000 posts.  Wow!  If
you haven't been out there yet, check 'em out and
see what the fuss is all about.

4.	TUESDAY WITH ELI

As many of you know, Eli writes a weekly update
that he posts on his website.  He also e-mails us
a copy of the update every week so we can post it
on ours.  I highly recommend that you read what
he has to say, and keep him in your prayers.  I post
the messages on our message board, but I do it in
such a way that it automatically creates a link
to the newest items on the front page.  The reason
for this is that it allows you to post replies to
the messages for others to see.  Here's a link to
that section of the message board - any of the
items that say "Tuesday With Eli" are what I am
referring to:

That's all for now.  I have a good number of new
songs to add, but for now we're concentrating on
getting the lyrics taken out of the current archive.

Have a great month, and feel free to e-mail me if you
have any questions or problems with the site.

IHL,
Mickey
