EMI targets the 'mix-tape' with 'secure CD'
15/06/2005 by Leigh Phillips
DM Europe -- Digital Media News for Europe
Is this the end of the mix-tape, or rather these days, the mix-CD?
UK record label EMI announced yesterday it plans to introduce anti-piracy technology to its CDs that will restrict consumers' ability to burn tracks to blank CDs. The technology, from Phoenix-based DRM solutions firm SunnComm, will allow CD owners to copy only three full copies of a CD's songs, and the burned discs themselves cannot be copied.
At the same time, fellow record label Sony BMG, which has already introduced similar technology to about half of its albums released in the US, announced that it is to extend the security to all of its American releases by the end of the year.
The technology also prevents CDs from being transferred to an iPod.
