Microsoft CD copy protection advances | |
|
||
| Time: 00:48 EST/05:48 GMT | News Source: ZDNet Australia | Posted By: Bill Roach | ||

Microsoft dug its roots a little deeper into the music business Wednesday, as copy-protection company Macrovision agreed to license its Windows digital rights management technology for CDs. The software giant has gained considerable ground over the past few months in its bid to have its audio technology loaded on every copy-protected CD sold by record labels. While labels have yet to make any significant copy-protected releases in the United States, Microsoft is poised to have its technology onboard if they do. Copy protected CDs have already been launched into the Australian market, most notably by EMI. | ||

What about DVDs?
I think this may be a deal breaker for MS a lot of peeps rip and burn… |

It's basically format agnostic. It can also work with DVDs.
This copy protection is geared towards allowing you to rip and burn, or transfer to a portable device and adding more value with DVD-like extras. It's up to the content provider as to how freely you can use the content, but at least these CDs will play on your PC. |
