This is a MusicTank event
DRM enabIes new and flexible ways of delivering music
online, such as via subscription models, but the recent furore
surrounding the Sony BMG "rootkit" has increased
suspicion towards copy protection and DRM.
These are considered by the mainstream record industry as
essential tools to guard against increased piracy in the digital
era.
But iPod owners want versatile transferable music and without
an industry standard individual DRM systems can restrict
inter-operability. Consumers suspect their right to use legally
purchased music is being compromised. Copy-protected artists are
furious not to have been consulted. Meanwhile independent labels
promote an open, copy-protection-free respect for music.
This event will consider if the record industry can find a more
viable DRM solution that bridges the gap copy protection has
created between the attitudes of fans, artists and record
companies to the music which all three groups want to value and
own.
