| Sep 26, 2008 - Microsoft offers CD and DVD copy-protection - 01! |
Microsoft has extended its repertoire of copy-protection technology by providing software to let entertainment companies put customised piracy blocks on CDs and DVDs.
The new software was announced on Monday at MIDEM, a music industry conference being held in Cannes, France.
Record companies and movie studios are eager to halt CD and DVD piracy and the distribution of copyright protected music and video files through internet file-sharing networks. To do this they have invested in "copy protection" schemes that control CD and DVD playback on PCs.
"We're talking about hundreds of millions of unauthorised music files being shared around the world and made available, just by the click of a mouse. The magnitude of it is staggering," says Jay Bernam, chairman of the world record industry body, IFPI.
But many digital rights management (DRM) schemes have proved unpopular with consumers who object to having controls placed on their ability to make personal copies of audio and video. Some copy protection systems have also caused some CD players to malfunction and made computers crash.
