no youre right. SDMI is audiophiles only. for people with a 5000$ stereo, that do not listen to mpeg radio, not to tv, not in the car, not to minidiscs, not to mp3 anyway. and of course not to vinyl. considering they would buy a compromised (even only in a not hearable way) file with encryption....
well. strange superflous discussion.
just think how many of these useless "bands" would disappear from napster et al, cause it would be a little bit more difficult to put them online (rerecord via analog audio). and how many more interesting music not watermarked could pop up instead. SDMI would make the world of online music much better. once hacked nobody should use it, that would be a nice coalition of hackers.
some advantages of sitting in germany is that you can phone the people for not too much. just spoke to some ulrich koch, pressguy for cebit, who told me, no:
the zdnet news is utter nonsense.
according to him this company never spoke to them.
and it is absolutely no proplem to display, sell or whatever mp3 players at cebit..
as long as it is within the b2b sector, he said, that distinguishes the cebit from cebit home (the consumer fair)
so....
whats the deal?
