Software firm fishes for global attention by pimping art money
Odense Denmark, March 13th, 2006 - Zabersoft, Inc. announces its partnership with
the Bank of International Art Money (BIAM). Zabersoft will now accept payment in Art
Money for software licenses for its flagship product, PimpFish. Zabersoft will be
the first software/technology company to ever accept art objects as valid payment
for its products.

The founders of Zabersoft, Inc. were introduced to the concept of Art Money by pure
coincidence. They loved the concept, one thing lead to another, and now they accept
art objects as payment for their products.

"We have tried to make it as simple for people to pay with Art Money as we possibly
could, by creating a fusion between our existing licensing framework and the online
Art Money marketplace. In fact, with the current model people can buy Art Money,
support an artist and save a few dollars on the license cost without much more
hassle than buying a license ''the traditional way''. It all happens online." said
Arni Johannesson, Zabersoft CEO and co-founder.

The Bank of International Art Money (BIAM) is an independent, artist run
organization. Art Money is an original art object by which BIAM aims to create a
global alternative currency. BIAM main objectives are to offer artists worldwide the
chance of financial freedom and worldwide exposure in order to focus on the creative
process. BIAM aims to integrate an alternative global currency with local currencies
worldwide as a step towards equal shopping conditions for rich and poor regardless
of the conditions of the local social environment. This currency may as such
function as a human link across cultural, racial, linguistic, political and
religious barriers.

"It is initiatives like the one from Zabersoft that helps turn a utopian art concept
into reality. Zabersoft has chosen to accept payment for their product as 100% art
money. This places art money on line with regular cash. More importantly it invites
low income people to shop! I am very excited to see professional businesses and art
find healthy win-win collaboration in art money, and I dare hope for a wild and
wonderful future for generations to come!" said Lars Krĉmmer, BIAM CEO.

The product initially offered to customers by Zabersoft, PimpFish, is a new download
manager application. Designed to work on Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003, PimpFish is a
Download Manager, Internet Explorer or Firefox toolbar and an assortment of plug-ins
designed to make it easier to download and share content you find online. With
PimpFish, you can grab, download, organize, and share Flash, QuickTime or any other
video, pictures, or files you find on Web sites. PimpFish has enjoyed tremendous
popularity since its release January this year and has gained more than 15.000 new
users since its recent release.
