Intel, Sony prep digital content standard | |
|
||
| Time: 00:01 EST/05:01 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||

Intel, Sony and a host of Japanese electronics manufacturers on Tuesday plan to propose a standard for allowing consumers to freely swap movies and music downloaded from the Internet between all the devices in their homes. The Digital Transmission Content Protection over IP (Internet Protocol) specification is aimed at balancing the interests of consumers, who recoil against restrictions placed on how and where they can use digital content, and copyright owners, who are terrified of piracy. The DTCP specification, embodied in home networks, would permit consumers to play downloaded music or movies on any PC or digital device in the home. However, the downloaded material can't be transmitted outside the home or copied. | ||

| I don't feel comfortable with Sony defining rules regarding file sharing and usage. I have a Sony network walkman and you can't copy MP3 files to it. You have to use their OMG software to convert MP3s. I get the sense they they are only concerned about protecting their property and not the consumers' flexibility. |

| I agree RedHook. Sony's music publishing interests cause a conflict of interest, IMO. |

| halcyon, point taken. But realize that when corp gives a directive (memory stick, for example), you see some amazing coordination across the sony behemoth. Who is to say that next time corp won't decide DRM is important to the whole company? |
