Sony, Intel To Push Content Protection

Posted by Hemos on Sunday September 21, 2003 @11:29PM from the e.g.-copyright-protection dept.

prostoalex writes "Intel and Sony are trying to please the copyright-alerted content publishers and privacy-aware consumers by supporting and pushing Digital Transmission Content Protection standard. New technology allows the consumer to use the downloaded content, but not distribute it outside of their home. A PDF presentation from an Intel engineer is available on dtcp.com."

Dang, I used to hand out mp3 cdr's on the street corner. Now I have to resort to sharing on kazaa inside my home.

less like chaining it to your wrist, and more like duct-taping it to your face. The future of DRM means for payer's eyes only, LIke movies, but all over the place. When taping Friends is outlawed, only outlaws will tape Friends.

Real info was, is and remains free.

Does three question marks somehow make your questions more important? And 'triing' is spelled 'trying'.

I hereby move that we rename the "Global Village" to the "Global Home". Once Mars is colonised, we can rename it to the "Solar System Home" and, with Alpha Centauri in our control, to the "Universal Home". Vive la metaphorution!;)
