Technical committees of NCTIS, the ANSI-blessed standards body, have been discussing the incorporation of content protection currently used for removable media into industry-standard ATA drives, using proprietary technology originating from the 4C Entity
The proposals are already at an advanced stage: three drafts have already been discussed for incorporating CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) into the ATA specification by the NCTIS T.13 committee
If, as expected, the CPRM extensions become part of the ATA specification, copyright protection will be in every industry-standard hard disk by next summer, according to IBM
Although it hardly has a prominent media profile - yet - CPRM in hardware is the most comprehensive mechanism for enforcing rights protection the industry has seen, and is likely to be viewed by content producers as a magic bullet
Congressman assails CD copy protection | The Register
Copy protection tracks implanted in CDs are a violation of the right to fair use
of purchased music, writes a US Representative to recording industry lobbyists.
Biting the hand that feeds IT Internet: News Tools Reg Shops Top Stories Vendor Whitepaper Learn how hackers are exploiting vulnerabilities in e-mail systems » » Congressman assails CD copy protection But is it illegal? By Published Tuesday 8th January 2002 14:32 GMT Copy protection tracks implanted in CDs are a violation of the right to fair use of purchased music, US Representative Richard Boucher (Democrat, Virginia) wrote in a letter to recording industry lobbyists Monday
Interestingly, a letter from Harvard University Law School Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurial Legal Studies Jon Zittrain, which appeared on the mailing list, points out that while the CD copy-protection scheme may be damnable, it appears to be quite legal under the letter of the AHRA
'I don't see how anyone reading it could readily find it to say that it prohibits private, technical copy protection schemes that, to be sure, trample copyright's balance.' The act 'just says that the record companies can't sue over people making certain kinds of copies, not that they have to allow those copies to be made.' And he provides chapter and verse: No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright based on the manufacture, importation, or distribution of a digital audio recording device, a digital audio recording medium, an analog recording device, or an analog recording medium, or based on the noncommercial use by a consumer of such a device or medium for making digital musical recordings or analog musical recordings

The big winner could be Macrovision, a major provider of copy protection to Hollywood
With revenues of $102 million in 2002, the company, based in Santa Clara, California, commands a near monopoly on video and DVD copy protection, providing the system used in more than 2.1 billion DVDs and 85 million DVD players
The company's main competitor is Phoenix-based SunnComm, a 25-person upstart that already has a contract to supply copy-protection technology to BMG, the fifth-largest record label
Morgan say the labels may well hedge their bets, relying on several vendors to provide copy-protection technology

Driven Off the Market The copy protection policies of newer audio and video recording devices are often not disclosed to you until long after the sale
The proliferation of digital recording devices with enforced copy-protection policy wouldn't be such a problem if they weren't driving non-protected equipment completely off the market
But that doesn't matter, as a DVD's encryption is 'an access control mechanism' under the DMCA and therefore a monopoly protection mechanism for the and DVD player manufacturers

"Complaints about anti-copying technology on Natalie Imbruglia's latest CD force
her record label to issue replacements for angry consumers." By John Borland.
'Certain limitations of the protection technology were unforeseeable and only (emerged) when the CDs were released into the general public, ' said Regine Hofmann, a BMG spokeswoman
But as labels issue more albums packed with copy protection, consumers are getting used to playing CDs on personal computers and creating digital versions of their music collections
Retailers are already seeing sales drop and may be loath to support and promote albums with copy protection for which they may later have to give refunds
'This should make it harder for people to use ill-thought-out copy protection in the future.' BMG did not say how many protected copies of the disc had been distributed, but noted that the number was small compared to the overall release

"The first copy-protected audio CD in the US will be released in April. The CD
is a tribute to country singer Jim Reeves performed by Charley Pride."
Audio CD copy protection posted 1:41am EST Thu Mar 29 2001 - submitted by God NEWS The first copy-protected audio CD in the US will be released in April
The CD will feature copy protection from startup SunComm and will theoretically stop songs from being ripped into MP3s by making the discs incompatible with at least some computer CD-ROM drives
The copy protection scheme most probably takes advantage of differences in specifications for RedBook CDs (audio) and YellowBook CDs (data)
So far, copy protection schemes for CD audio have consisted of adding additional information to the table of contents area on a CD, or adding errors to the track that an audio CD player skips over but a CD-ROM reader has trouble with

hard to copy ...' Well, surprise! DVDs have no copy protection at all
They only have protection from being played on unlicensed DVD players
I think the real smart people here are the small startups that are going to make a mint selling worthless protection to the recording industry
This is a very immature, rediculous attempt at music protection and once a CD that people actually want to buy attempts to use this 'Copyright protection' scheme, it will be thrown out the door
