That realy is an interessting Question.
As far as DRM and copyprotection is not a deal anymore, child protection for games over 18, or explict lyrics could be a business. In Germany there is a big discussion about denying the so called killergames like counterstrike a.s.o.

Yes EMI is using a new Protection System.
It initializes an own Player that gives you the Possibility to burn a Disc three times, mail it to a Friend, who can listen to it for a limited time, or you can put it on your PC and listen to it as a WMA file. It is not directly compatible with IPod. EMI is also using it outside the US for example on the new DJ Tomekk single which is Nr. 3 in the Charts, or on the Mega Chartbreaker Album "Ballermann Hits 2005".I can not tell if it is MediMax Tech but the Features are equal!!
Sonys PSP and new Flashplayer begin approximately iPod IPod competition is to make: the Sony Flashplayer Sony means it serious: In the contest with Apple a new generation of Flashplayern is to wring iPod market shares out starting from May. The Japanese, who had a checking in the last months within the range Digitalplayer, want to make soil good with all power. "we know that we lag behind so far", said to product manager Kelly Davis. "however in this year we want to be definitely a strong competitor." The new Netwalkmen with storage capacity between 256 MT and 1 GB for files in the Sony format Atrac3 or in the free format MP3 foresaw it clearly on iPod the shuffle. In size and Design they are related, but the devices of Sony order, against a surcharge, besides over a UKW receiver and have in series a three-line display inserted. Sony recruits with the Akku Netwalkmen with a battery performance of up to 50 hours, which are to have shortly appearing models with AAA batteries even 70 hours of actual working time. On the other hand drops back iPod with twelve hours far. But Sony with its prices lies however also more highly than Apple: The top model becomes approximately 200 dollar, which costs smallest Netwalkman 90 dollar. Beyond that the enterprise confirmed now that the Downloadstore Connect in connection with the PlayStation portable one (PSP) was to open new customers. Owing to a new software the portable play consoles are to be able to play in the future also music and video. The Downloads can be transferred then both by the PC and by Macintosh computers to the PSP. This betrayed Yair Landau, Vice Chairman of Sony Pictures, which called the PSP "first Swiss measurer for Entertainment". Landau criticized however the company colleagues from the hardware section that the MEMORY sticks needed for the PSP and other Sony devices, which developed particularly Flashspeicher of the Japanese, are "ridiculously too expensive".

Content protect ion market will double itself to 2009 The sales volume of the world-wide content protect ion market will amount to already in the year 2009 1.5 billion dollar, resulted in a study of the texanischen market research firm digitally Tech Consulting (DTC). Therefore a world-wide conversion of 701 million dollar is to be generated in this year with the protection of digital contents. 2004 amounted to the conversion 453 million dollar (2003: 347 million dollar). This growth was favoured according to the market researchers particularly by the segments Pay TV and DVD. In the coming years new digital selling ways would provide like mobile networks, HDTV, video on the and, interactive television and Media Downloads for a further growth thrust, so DTC. This is already now at the substantial success of Downloaddiensten as for example Apple of iTunes, material networks and Napster readable. Source: Video week

EMI is going to use CDS300 worldwide but that does not mean nobody else has a chance. Talking about these Decisions on this board always sound like "exclusiv for the next 100years".
The People responsible for Copy Protection in the companies are talking with everybody a change always is possible. But for now its CDS300!
And rizz believe it or not, there is no writen down Right for a privat Copy and that is the reason for the Lawsuit. It is viewed different in all european States. In Germany no private Person goes to the Court besause after looking through the case their Lawyer just tells them that they would not win.

rizz one thing i forgot, the EMI pressing plant is in Uden in the Netherlands. Hope that helps

Sorry rezz_Uid, but there is no Link I could offer you.
It was an EMI Company Meeting during witch this was stated.
The trouble with FNAC is also seen as a chance to change exactly that Privat Copying Law because all Record Companies are thinking that there is no such right for any person.
Later this year there will or should be a new aplikation for CDS300 witch will fit with winxp and win2k.

Nice read rezz_Uid and you didn`t mention EMI with one Word.
I think you know why!
EMI is going to use the new CDS 300 from MVSN. That was stated at a World Converenz from EMI last Weekend in LA, what does not mean that they are not looking after other Protektion Systems like for example MM.5.1, but the now in use system will be CDS 300. Sad but True.

Microsoft with Sony
Neither Microsoft nor Sony could approximately stop so far the triumphant advance of Apple in the business with digital music and the associated technologies around iTunes and iPod. Therefore Bill Gates now obviously considers together-adding itself with the competition from Japan. "Wall the Street Journal" the Microsoft boss, a partnership said in the range digital Entertainment would come both enterprises to property. He can hardly have meant the business with play consoles, as he from a "hohen Kooperationsanreiz" the two companies spoke. Rather see he a chance "Infrastruktur" to thing in common with; of digital music. Concretely: With Downloadshops and with Digitalplayern. However Microsoft and Sony would have to agree first on a compatibility of its file formats and the associated digitally Rights management. The one set so far only on WMA, the others persist in Atrac3. Sony did not express itself so far to this raid of gates. Already once the Japanese in this affair were umgarnt: Already one year ago Apple boss Steve job had negotiated with Sony-boss Nobuyuki Idei about a possible integration of Sony into that iTunes Music net curtain - without success.
Großer Coup für HD-DVD
For Translation look below (Babel Fish)
Dem Konsortium um das Next-Generation-Format HD-DVD ist offenbar ein großer Coup gelungen. Einem Bericht von "Business Wire" zufolge, haben sich die US-Majors Paramount, Universal und Warner sowie Independent New Line nun offiziell für die HD-DVD als DVD-Nachfolger entschieden. In einer Pressemitteilung lobt Thomas Lesinski, Präsident von Paramount Pictures, Worldwide Home Entertainment, die deutlichen Vorteile der HD-DVD gegenüber dem Konkurrenzformat Blu-ray-Disc. HD-DVD biete den Konsumenten die beste Qualität zu einem erschwinglichen Preis. Zudem seien die Herstellungskosten geringer und die Produktionsumstellung mühelos. Universal zum Beispiel kündigt sowohl Neuveröffentlichungen als auch Backkatalog-Titel für Anfang 2006 als HD-DVDs an.
Erste Abspielgeräte sollen laut Toshiba Ende 2005 erhältlich sein, der Massenmarkt ist für 2006 anvisiert. Auf einer zweischichtigen HD-DVD können 30 GB Daten gespeichert werden, die zurzeit verbreitete zweischichtige DVD bietet 8,5 GB.

Sony Music will sich Kopierschutz sparen
Sony Music Japan will dem Vernehmen nach auf Kopierschutzsystem verzichten. Ab November sollen Medienberichten zufolge nur noch CDs ohne technische Beschränkungen in den Handel kommen. Bis dahin würden noch die Restbestände verkauft, die mit dem Kopierschutz Label Gate ausgerüstet sind. Sony Music Japan reagiere damit auf das gewachsene Unrechtsbewusstsein der japanischen Konsumenten. Die zuletzt verschärfte Urheberrechtsgesetzgebung habe dazu geführt, dass Japaner die Finger vom CD-Brennen lassen. Beobachter glauben indes auch, dass sich Sony zu diesem Schritt entschlossen hat, weil sich Kunden immer häufiger über Fehlfunktionen und Abspielprobleme der CDs beschwert haben.
Auch in Europa bröckelte die Kopierschutzfront in den vergangenen Wochen. Weniger wegen eines Abflauens der CD-Brennerei, sondern weil Plattenfirmen zum Teil selbst mit der Wirksamkeit der Systeme unzufrieden waren. Universal-Chef Frank Briegmann beteuerte zuletzt gegenüber der "F.A.Z.", man werde Kopierschutztechniken künftig erst wieder bei nationalen Veröffentlichungen einsetzen, wenn "die Funktionsmängel der derzeit verfügbaren Systeme" beseitigt seien.
Sony Music wants to save for copy protection Sony Music Japan wants to do without to hearing after on copy protection system. Starting from November according to medium reports only CDs without technical restrictions are to come into the trade. Up to then still the residues were sold, which are equipped with the copy protection label gate. Sony Music Japan reacts with it to the grown injustice consciousness of the Japanese consumers. The copyright law giving intensified last led to the fact that Japanese leave the fingers of CD burning. Observers believe meanwhile also that Sony decided to this step, because customers weighted ever more frequently about malfunctionings and playing problems of the CDs. Also in Europe the copy protection front crumbled in the past weeks. Less because of a crumbling of the CD cD-Brennerei, but because disk companies partially were dissatisfied with the effectiveness of the systems. Universal boss franc Briegmann protested last opposite "F.A.Z.", one will use copy protection techniques in the future only again when national publications, if "die lack of function of the at present available Systeme" are eliminated.
This is harsh,and again EMI......
Microsoft möchte offenbar bei künftigen Generationen von CD-Kopierschutzsystemen ein Wörtchen mitreden. Britischen Medienberichten zufolge, will der Computer-Riese die Musikbranche auf einen einheitlichen Standard einschwören, den die Entwickler von Microsofts neuem Betriebssystem Longhorn diktieren würden. Das gehe aus einer Korrespondenz zwischen den EMI-Chefs Alain Lévy und David Munns mit Tommy-Boy-Macher Tom Silverman hervor, so der britische Branchendienst musically.com. Lévy und Munns hätten Silverman gebeten, das Ansinnen von Microsoft in die Indie-Kreise zu tragen, um dort einen Konsens zur Kopierschutzfrage zu erzielen. Longhorn, das Betriebssystem, das auf XP folgen soll und dessen Start Microsoft bereits wiederholt verschieben musste, soll demnach eine übergreifende Kopierschutz-Plattform für die gesamte Branche werden. Plattenfirmen erhielten dann künftig von Microsoft Instruktionen über die Spezifikationen, die der jeweilige Kopierschutz einer CD erfüllen muss, um mit Longhorn kompatibel zu sein. So wünscht sich Microsoft angeblich, dass diese CDs immer Bonusmaterial enthalten, um gegenüber Musikkunden den Einsatz von DRM-Systemen rechtfertigen zu können. Dem Vernehmen nach soll das Longhorn-DRM den Nutzern die Möglichkeit geben, beim Speichern der CD auf den PC ein bevorzugtes Dateiformat auszuwählen. Ob dann auch AAC, das Format bei Apples iTunes, dazu zählen wird, darf zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt bezweifelt werden. Allem Anschein nach will Microsoft bereits bis zum 20. September unter allen relevanten Plattenfirmen Einigkeit in dieser Frage erzielt haben. Die Anfrage aus Seattle scheint aber erst Ende August an die Labels
And through Babelfish for your fun...
Microsoft would like to obviously put in a word at future generations of CD Kopierschutzsystemen a Woertchen. According to British medium reports, the computer giant wants to swear the music industry in on a uniform standard, which the developers of Microsofts would dictate to new operating system Longhorn. That comes out from a correspondence between the EMI bosses Alain Lévy and David Munns with Tommy Boy Macher Tom Silverman, so the British industry service musically.com. Lévy and Munns would have asked Silverman to carry the unjustified demand of Microsoft into the Indie circles in order to obtain a consent there to the copy protection question. Longhorn, the operating system, which is to follow after XP and whose start had to shift Microsoft already repeated, is a spreading copy protection platform for the entire industry to become therefore. Disk companies received from Microsoft instructions then in the future over the specifications, which the respective copy protection must fulfill to CD, in order to be compatible with Longhorn. Thus Microsoft wishes itself allegedly that this CDs bonus material to always contain, in order to be able to justify opposite music customers the employment of DRM systems. After hearing the Longhorn DRM is to give the possibility to the users of selecting when storing that CD on the PC a preferential file format. Whether also AAC, which format with Apples of iTunes, in addition will count may at the current time is then doubted. To all appearances Microsoft wants to have already obtained agreement in this question by 20 September among all relevant disk companies. The inquiry from Seattle seems however only at the end of of August to the labels

European Union could approve Sony BMG prematurely The green light for the planned fusion of BMG and Sony Music is to come already two days in former times as planned from Brussels. Thus the companies Bertelsmann and Sony could begin starting from 20 July to unite their music arms. Report at least anonymous sources to the US industry magazine "Billboard". Until at the latest to 22 July the competition commission of Mario Monti wanted to decide whether it wants to agree the union. It is expected that the European trust guards approve the Merger without large restrictions. Various competitors, Verbraucherschuetzer and trading organisations had lifted themselves however vehement against the elephant wedding

This is why I stated that all deals are more a sort of LOI.
All Major Players are testing sunncomm, but it still can fail.
This is what the BMG CEO in Germany said:
With the topic copy protection wants to set BMG in the future particularly on customer friendliness. "Die customers do not want copy-protected CDs. nobody go into a disk business and ask for a copy-protected CD", so Maarten Steinkamp on a press conference on 8 July in Munich. In order not to deter the consumers, BMG would like to therefore introduce a CoPy management. This limits the number of the copies on five up to seven times. The system is still in the test phase and not yet completely developed, so Steinkamp. One wants to however only go on the market if all technical deficits are eliminated, which at the end of of August the case should be prospective. The system is to be tested in Europe and the USA. Do not bring it however the desired results, then one will do starting from 2005 completely without copy protection. "Wir those want to treat consumer again well and him not longer ignorieren", justified Steinkamp this decision.

Was a Pleasure EOM
The rumors around a possible fusion of EMI and the Warner Music Group (WMG) do not die down: Although both sides continue to disclaim, now respectable British media fire the speculations again again on. The Londoner "Times" quoted an anonymous "Senior Official", that it as "unvermeidlich" it designated that the two companies take up their Merger negotiations again. In view of appearing the permission of the union of BMG and Sony Music EMI and WMG nothing at all different one would remain, than strengthening itself mutually, in order to be able to exist against the giants universal and Sony BMG at the market. However had "Times" already once announced on 21 June similar rumors. There were not official confirmations so far.

BMG and all the other Majors are not manufacturing their CDs in one Plant for the World. It is possible that you have to have a subsidery in that Territory to get completely satisfying Contracts.
Hallo Ulrike, hope you are fine. EOM
Thanks for the Chill Pill, feels better now.
Did not want to look arrogant. I only want to point out that the ADITIONAL use of Media Max4 by EMI is a Fact.
P.S. looks like your name has a lot to do with what you call Freedom over there. Please, have a nice day.
No, its not opinion. What i said about EMI is a Fact!
And do not ask about Sources, I am the Source.
These Gimmick as you call the Media Max, or did you mean something else?, are definitly going to be used by EMI.
But they will be used ALSO, that means Macro wont be dropped off yet.
EMI and Warner Music flirting again.
After the planned fusion is obviously granted by Sony Music and BMG with the trust guards in Brussels without large restrictions, again hope for a large wedding germinates also in London and New York. Allegedly EMI and Warner Music speak again with one another. A report of the Londoner "Times" to consequence the two enterprises will again take up their negotiations soon over a Merger. Insider mean, these fusion discussions are inevitably, there beside universal (market share 23.5 per cent) and Sony BMG (25.1 per cent) both remaining major with their market shares of 13,4 per cent (EMI) and 12.7 per cent (Warner Music) in the future would be only insufficiently competitive. With EMI and Warner Music the surprise over the green light for Sony BMG was allegedly large, so "Times" further. Therefore go out one in New York and London of it that a further fusion, which confronts both large major the third, equal company is then only formality.
Sony BMG would become World Market Leader
Babelfish:
Universal the Music Group remains after newest collections of the international IFPI Dachverbands further world-wide market leader in the clay/tone carrier business. However universal with a world market portion of 23,5 per cent lost nearly two per cent points for the year 2003 in the comparison to the previous year. A fused Sony BMG would have run off universal with 25.1 per cent first rank cumulated. Largest winner under major was BMG: The Bertelsmann Musikgroup could add 2003 from 9,6 per cent in the year 2002 on now 11.9 per cent in the year. However it is enough for BMG thereby in the concert of the companies again only for fifth rank. EMI displaced against it with a world market portion from now 13.4 per cent (previous year: 12,2) Sony with 13,2 per cent (previous year: 14,2) of second on the third place. As the fourth Warner with now 12.7 per cent could gain nearly a per cent point. The independent disk companies come cumulated on a market share of 25,3 per cent, in the previous year were it still 27.1 per cent. The IFPI communicates the world market portions only for the third time. As basis the sales of clay/tone and image carriers serve to the trade. Downloads are at present not yet part of the statistics, are however in the coming years to flow.
Nice Find Grandma.
Maybe we have a third Party then.
Sony BMG calls hearing constructionally
The two-day verbal hearing before the competition guardians of the European union to the fusion Sony BMG ran in opinion of Bertelsmann and Sony productively and constructionally. One could speak its arguments to all points of complaint stated by the competition guardians. Both companies pointed themselves confidently, "dass their presentations for the economic surrounding field of the music industry and to the culture product music understood wurden" and want "ihr per-active commitment with the European Union commission invariably to continue, until a final decision ist" reached;, it means in a Bertelsmann statement. In the hearing expert of economic politics and on the right of, an official of 13 national competition authorities therefore participated and interested third. The planned joint venture is a reaction to de Veraenderungen in the clay/tone carrier industry: "Das joint undertakings substanziellere investments into the creation of music to permit as otherwise possible would be and in this way the cultural variety in Europe retain and foerdern", it means. The consumers are finally more "Nutzniesser joint the Ventures". The opponents of the fusion, under, it stepped before on the plan, numerous representatives of the independent labels, meet following this round behind locked doors on representatives of the Wettebewerbshueter.
BMG and Sony Music defend themselves in Brussels.
On the first day of the hearings before the European Union competition commission BMG and Sony Music stated its arguments for their planned fusion. After hearing the two companies could maintain their position opposite the sceptical trust guards well. The hearing took place behind locked doors, but a participant told "Hollywood the Reporter" the most important statements of the fusion candidates. So Sony Music and BMG would have to react affirmed that a Merger would be the best possibility, in order to the shrinking market, the sinking sales figures and the threat by Internetpiraterie. The concern of the European Union, a fused Sony BMG can keep the CD prices artificially high for the disadvantage of the consumers, is completely from air seized. The market is transparency, the competition with other major in full course and even if Sony BMG wanted it, could one the market prices not alone control. The two enterprises let alleged also see through the fact that in the case of a failure of the fusion still more jobs and artist contracts would stand on the play when by the union on the distance would remain. In the hearing in Brussels also representatives the other major, members of the Indepent organization Impala, the European consumer combination BEUC as well as Apple computer participate. They are heard on tomorrow's 16 June by the European Union commission. After the verbal hearing Sony Music and BMG have still to beginning of the coming week time to submit their concessions in writing. By 22 July the competition guardians their decision want to fall.
It is not signed yet!!!
Yes EMI is having Talks with Sunncom, but see it more as a LOI than a yet fixed contract.
BMG liebäugelt mit Verkäufen
Bei BMG spielt man offenbar mit dem Gedanken, sich vom Verlagsarm BMG Music Publishing zu trennen, um grünes Licht aus Brüssel für die geplante Fusion mit Sony Music zu bekommen. Der Musikverlag ist Schätzungen zufolge zwischen 800 Mio. und einer Mrd. Dollar wert (zwischen 670 und 830 Mio. Euro). Obwohl das Verlagsgeschäft nicht zum geplanten Fusionsumfang gehört, hatte die EU-Kommission in ihrem Prüfbericht zuletzt festgestellt, es sei wahrscheinlich, dass sich BMG Music Publishing und Sony/ATV nach einer Fusion im Tagesgeschäft absprechen und damit den freien Wettbewerb merklich behindern könnten. Auch bei Sony Music gebe es Tendenzen zum Verkauf des Verlagsarms, heißt es in einem Bericht der "New York Post". Allerdings könne der Konzern Sony/ATV nicht so leicht abstoßen, da es sich dabei um ein Joint Venture mit Michael Jackson handelt - beide Seiten müssten einem Verkauf erst zustimmen. Eine Beratung hierüber soll es nach der Entscheidung der EU geben. Branchenintern wird Sony/ATV auf ungefähr 750 Mio. Dollar (625 Mio. Euro) taxiert. Bei BMG heißt es dazu nur: "Wir kommentieren keine Spekulationen." BMG und Sony Music präsentieren am heutigen 14. Juni und morgen vor der EU-Kommission ihre Argumente und Konzessionen, die den Merger ermöglichen sollen. Mit einer Entscheidung aus Brüssel wird bis zum 22. Juli gerechnet.

BMG liebaeugelt with sales With BMG one obviously plays with the thought to separate from the publishing house arm BMG Music Publishing in order to receive green light from Brussels for the planned fusion with Sony Music. The music publishing house is worth estimations according to between 800 millions and a billion dollar (between 670 and 830 millions euro). Although the publishing trade does not belong to the planned fusion extent, the European Union commission in its test report had determined last, it was probable that BMG Music Publishing and Sony/ATV could deny themselves after a fusion in the cash transaction and obstruct with it the free competition noticeably. Also with Sony Music give it to tendencies for the sales of the publishing house arm, is called it in a report "New of the York Post". However the company Sony/ATV cannot push off so easily, since it acts thereby around a joint venture with Michael Jackson - both sides would have to only agree a sales. A consultation concerning this is to give it after the decision to the European Union. Sony/ATV is rated industry-internally on approximately 750 million dollar (625 millions euro). With BMG it means in addition only: "Wir no Spekulationen." commentates; BMG and Sony Music present tomorrow its arguments and concessions, which are to make the Merger possible on today's 14 June and before the European Union commission. On a decision from Brussels by 22 July one counts.
