Registration Statement on Form S-8
1,196,493 shares of Common Stock
--------------------------------
Gentlepersons:
We are counsel to inChorus.com, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"). We
have assisted the Company in its preparation of a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act"), registering 1,196,493 shares of common stock, $.001 par
value, of the Company (the "Common Stock").
In rendering this opinion, we have considered such questions of law and
examined such statutes and regulations, corporate records, certificates and
other documents and have made such other examinations, searches and
investigations as we have considered necessary. In such examinations we have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to us as certified or as photocopies or telecopies. We have
not made an independent examination of the laws of any jurisdiction other than
California and the federal laws of the United States, and we do not express or
imply any opinions in respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction. The
opinions expressed herein are based on legislation and regulations in effect on
the date hereof.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Common Stock, when issued pursuant to the exercise of options under the Plan,
the Bonus and the Agreement and the purchase price therefor has been paid, will
be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement. This consent is not to be construed as an admission that
we are a person whose

consent is required to be filed with the Registration Statement under the
provisions of the Securities Act.
