 "With all three services available in one place thanks to i-Fan, Covenant will be the first company able to meet all of the digital needs of the music industry with a much easier, more economical, and much more effective solution. This, in turn, will help the music industry recover from its losses and continue promoting all the new music that we music aficionados clamour for. A safer, more stable industry and plenty of tunes for all. Sounds promising, no?"

| Ripped Off: Internet Piracy |
| 08.01.2003 |
Ion Magazine - Cover Article |
 " A company called 'Covenant' has revolutionized this brutal cycle by rewarding the pirates for downloading files. Yeah that's right, I said they pay the pirates money to download new unreleased music onto their hardrive. Covenant Corporation believes that trying to bring down the file-sharing networks is like shooting the messenger who brings bad tidings, it just isn't a feasible solution to the problem. Covenant is not out to end online file trading but instead they are trying to assist the music industry to see the power of online promotion and distribution. They are trying to bring corporate business a new perspective on working with the online communities. "

| Music Industry Uses 'Spoofs' To Throw Off Illegal File Traders |

Cincinnati Enquirer |
 "Covenant is taking a different approach: preaching to the converted. Or rather, converting them instead of preaching. Unlike its competitors, Covenant is open about its client list and hopes to turn the tide by luring pirate traders into distributing their spoofed files for them with the promise of cash and prizes.
'If you go to KaZaA right now, you can stream the first few seconds of a file and know it's a fake and abort it,' said Jim Meier, Covenant CEO. 'We don't want to just stop piracy, we want to promote artists.'"

 "...Jim Meier, CEO of Covenant Corp. of Vancouver, which makes anti-piracy software, stepped in the other day to support the recording industry’s fear of high tech by announcing there is a worm in the Apple strategy. He said that instead of stopping music piracy, the iTunes store is more likely to force pirates to tinker with the existing technology, thereby making it even harder to prevent illegal file-sharing in the future."

| Digital Decoys Are Making Frustrated Pirates Say 'Arrr' |
| 03.11.2003 |
MTV.com (article also reprinted on VH1) |
 "...a new tactic, 'spoofing,' has emerged in the fight against file trading. Spoofing is the practice of spamming trading networks with decoy files in an effort to frustrate traders, and, hopefully, drive them to seek music from one of the industry's legitimate downloading destinations.
Not only is spoofing on the rise, but a new company called Covenant is recruiting file traders to post bogus files for them on peer-to-peer networks with the promise of cash and prizes..."
