o Consumers Won't Play SunnComm City
A CD that can't be ripped? There's no such thing. Still,
Phoenix-based SunnComm claims it has a technology that makes
a CD rip-proof, thus preventing meddling kids from
trafficking MP3 copies all over the Web.
But a rip-proof CD also can't be used for a perfectly legal
purpose, making MP3s for personal use. While that is a
consumer right, it's not a protected right. "The fair use
argument is a bunch of nonsense. The people raising their
hands and crying 'fair use' are the same folks pirating the
content," says SunnComm Chairman John Aquilino.
SunnComm's idea won't work. Nobody ever made more money from
a product by making it less functional -- not to mention
increasing production costs.
If people want MP3s and they can't make them from the CDs
they own, they'll go online to find them -- exactly what
SunnComm's technology tries to prevent. But where will those
people go? Straight to the people who will crack SunnComm's
technology within weeks of its deployment. See today's news below....
