It appears to me to be a spoof being played out, after I re-read the entire article I noticed this;
"Microsoft's PowerHit system is a DRM application keyed to the company's Power Management technology. Starting at midnight on December 1, all users of Windows 2000 and higher will receive automatic system updates which will instruct desktops, laptops and PDAs running appropriate MS OS software to release a 125-volt anti-p2p DRM 'charge' into computer chassis every users attempt to play unauthorised iTunes tracks.
this amount of decibels would make you go deaf real quick!
How do you spell Universal? LOL
"When an iPod (or other) user wearing the new audio devices plays an iTunes track not sanctioned by Organized Music (EMI Group, Vivendi Uiversal, Warner Music), Fair Play feedback 'instructs' the buds to emit a piercing, high-pitched scream in stereo at 250 decibels.
Thx 117. Has anyone had an opportunity to validate:
From December 1, all iTunes downloads will carry a new kind of Fair Play DRM, a direct negative feedback 'watermark' recognized by Fair Play earbuds and, ultimately, by other audio devices from manufacturers who sign up for the code, which was created under a joint SunnComm and Macrovision venture.
