Copy protection does not lead the music industry also their audio CDs with copying barriers to pirat copies enough thereby that music is hardly to be gotten on-line without digital chains, verplombt. So that paying customers pull no more copies or MP3s from their CDs, the compatibility remains to the audio CD standard on the distance. Some CD players do not play the copy-protected Un-CDs any longer or only with errors. The fact that the imposed chains annoy also purchase-willing of music fan oozes obviously slowly up to the DRM industry.
"Es does not make a sense to arrange the legal use of digital media ever more complicated and to punish with it the honest buyer, whereas the illegal robbery copier simply and without restrictions on each equipment play everything kann." These words come not from a hereditary east music listener, but of Dr. Martin stone brook of the Fraunhofer Institut for integrated publication and information systems (IPSI). And stone brook should know it: It leads the range "Mediensicherheit in IT" (MERIT). Merit tries at present to bring a digital water-mark system on the market.
In the prototype status function it already; testing in the everyday life still is in the initial phase. The advantage of digital water-marks is it that the so secured files could be copied freely, but always the data of the Erstnutzers maintained. If a file comes nevertheless into circulation, its way up to the original leaves itself widens retraces. The water-marks are in one "Business Offer Language" (BOL) to be formulated, a XML derivative. After the conceptions of the institute for Fraunhofer the music industry can even still profit from unhindered exchanging -- if the water-marks with Micropayments to be linked. Then the tauschpartner pays for listening to; the distributing customer receives possibly commission for the file sharing. "Raubkopien" if it does not give then any longer, so the digital future music of the FhG IPSI. (ghi/c't)
