Supporting the quality of service provided by Japan’s leading music distribution sites

TOKYO Japan, March 11, 2008 - Limelight Networks, Inc (NASDAQ: LLNW) announced today that Label Gate Co., Ltd. has selected the Limelight Networks content delivery network (CDN) for the distribution of audio and website content objects of mora and mora win, two of Japan’s largest music distribution sites.

To further reinforce the infrastructure of leading Japanese music distribution sites mora and mora win in conjunction with business growth, Label Gate has deployed Limelight Networks’ high performance CDN. Limelight Networks will distribute the music titles sold on mora and mora win, along with website objects.

Because Limelight Networks’ CDN uses servers consolidated in datacenters, it boasts a large capacity that enables it to store a large number of files for distribution. This capability makes it ideal for long tail businesses such as mora and mora win which are designed to offer users as large a variety of titles as possible with short response time by enabling high cache efficiency even for rarely downloaded files. Moreover, because the company’s CDN is designed for the delivery of large files, it is able to maintain high response even when distributing high bit rate, high quality audio files. Totally reliable delivery is a vital prerequisite of online music sales, and the redundancy built into the drive structure of Limelight Networks’ CDN ensures resilience to system failures and stable delivery of files to mora and mora win users.

“Label Gate is a leader in Japan’s rapidly growing music distribution market, and Limelight Networks is supporting Label Gate through providing distribution infrastructure,” says Shinji Tsukamoto, president of Limelight Networks Japan and senior vice president, Limelight Networks, Inc. “With Label Gate’s adoption of our CDN, mora and mora win users will be able to download a rich variety of titles with minimum response time.”

Label Gate Co., Ltd. is a music distribution service operator established in April 2000 as a joint venture by major Japanese recording labels. Currently 17 labels hold stakes in Label Gate, which operates a wide range of services for enabling music fans to enjoy music whenever they wish through both PCs and mobile phones.
