Unfortunatley, I agree with you...the reason I state "unfortunately" is that I am also in the biz and those hackers are smart as hell...Nice comment about a little jail time only to return to the 'outside' with a multi-million dollar job offer.

I know this contadicts my last post to Cat, but it is simply a true fact that TriMark will be hacked. But, if it stops even a small amount of piracy, it will bring the company in revenue.

I wouldn't underestimate hackers and nearly any security method might eventually be defeated, but Trimark is encrypted in the music and the serial number is replicated if the song is replicated:

" 1) The technology will embed a unique serial number into each song

2) If the song is replicated, the serial will be replicated

3) The number and purchaser's identification will forward to a database repository

4) The technology will tag songs, leaving a traceable path to the purchaser with a patent pending audio-sniffer

5) Serial numbers will embed into all radio promotional media. Therefore, the technology can find radio piracy violators as well

6) The database scans serials without human intervention. If a piracy violation occurs, a notification will alert the subscriber, plus law officials capable of prosecution

7) Due to complex algorithms, encoding, and multiple random generated embedding, reverse engineering or "stripping" a serial will be next to impossible "

This sounds like it would be mighty difficult to defeat. Even security methods that can occasionally be hacked are utilized by the recording industry because most people can't hack them.

That was older technology. I fully understand what you are saying and agree with you to an extent. I believe this technology will make it harder to hack and get around which makes it a better product than what has been produced previously. JMO.
