Well Chris, here's another side of the same coin. Secure Digital Music Initiative London, May 5, 1999 – At the third plenary meeting of the Secure Digital Music Initiative (SDMI) in London on May 3-5, attended by more than 90 companies, the music and technology industries achieved consensus on a possible framework for the treatment of music to be played on future computers and consumer electronic devices. The framework deals with both protected and unprotected music in a consumer friendly manner while still creating a mechanism to limit future piracy of copyrighted music on CDs and new formats. Technical experts from the music and technology industries also continued their collaborative efforts toward the development of a specification for portable devices and the definition of functional requirements for the overall SDMI architecture. The working groups established to accomplish these tasks met their objectives, so that the SDMI schedule remains firmly on track. The specification for portable devices is intended to be completed by June 30, 1999, so that portable devices can be manufactured in time for the 1999 holiday season. The long-term SDMI specification is scheduled to be completed by March 31, 2000. Leonardo Chiariglione, Executive Director of SDMI, commented that the London sessions produced substantial consensus on the permitted uses of both compressed and uncompressed music. "The dialog among SDMI participants brought about a much higher level of mutual understanding than previously existed about the respective needs of the technology and music industries and their customers. The consensus that is being formed will pave the way for ultimate approval of a portable device specification by the June 30 deadline."
