But you did not answer Mr. Burns question. It must be hard on you not having an answer? CHEERS CHUMP!!! Message 14988483 From: C M Burns Sunday, Dec 10, 2000 1:20 PM ET Reply # of 214 Yawn. I ask for some non stock paid info. and I get links to CEO interviews, and press that quote unnamed large stock holders and financial firms tied to the company. Ok here's a question for everyone. Let's say I buy the new Yanni Christmas in Antartica CD. I pop it in my computer, goto my MP3 making software and "rip" the CD to my hard drive at say 5-10x the play speed. I then encode these files as mp3's and damn, thanks to some gee whiz thing TTRE claims to have that no one else seems to even bother talking about, it comes back garbled sounding. What to do, what to do. Well how about if I set my ripper software from digital to analog. This takes the audio stream after it's been through the D/A converter(it's the same stuff that you would be listening to) and it converts it back to digital and writes it to my hard drive. Then I make this an mp3, and because the D/A converter in even a $30-40 sound card now have a S/N ratio of probably 90dB's or more, I can't tell the difference. Then I upload it to Napster, and pow, the whole world has this wonderful music. What's to keep someone from doing that? CMB

Fahrenheit is the parent company of several well-known record labels, including Fahrenheit Records, Finer Arts Records, and Celsius Records and enjoys worldwide distribution of its high quality audio compact discs. The licensing agreement permits the record company to release its audio compact disc with the SUN-X Sentinel® copy protection beginning in the first quarter 2001.

Our SunnComm Copy Protection software and technology will make the leap from development to the recording industry.'' Peter Trimarco, president/chief executive officer of Fahrenheit commented, ``Upon seeing the technology and recognizing its potential, we are extremely excited to become the first American record label to take a pro-active role in the fight to protect the intellectual property rights of artists, producers and publishers.''

"Thanks Vegas, TTRE may be on their way out. Look at the following info regarding revenue, and note how it has now gone to ZERO in the last quarter. Perhaps their technology is not as good as manufacturers need it to be." By: TonyCthatsme $$$ Reply To: 1267 by VegasGo $$$ Thursday, 30 Nov 2000 at 12:49 PM EST Post # of 1418 Thanks Vegas, TTRE may be on their way out. Look at the following info regarding revenue, and note how it has now gone to ZERO in the last quarter. Perhaps their technology is not as good as manufacturers need it to be. Results of TTRE Operations Nine months ended September 30, 2000 ("2000 Period") compared to nine months ended September 30, 1999 ("1999 Period") and the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999. Revenues for the 2000 Period and 1999 Period were $2,014 and $ 67,341, respectively, and were, in each case, derived from licensing fees of our DiscGuard product. There were no revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $26,848 for the comparable period in 1999. Make way for the SunnComm Sentinel................

"par, TTRE has both, software and hardware solutions. 1st - It is the opinion of many that the hardware solution is no solution at all in the real fight against piracy, but rather a deterrent to the average law abiding Joe." "2nd - Please read the following which is a very brief, not too detailed overview of TTRE technologies. Please note the following sentence "But any copy of this CD will abort or be unacceptably inferior to the original" in the 4th paragraph below. I can go to the MP3 site right now and listen to FREE music, but that too would be "unacceptably inferior to the original". SunnComm would not allow this AT ALL."

I can go to the MP3 site right now and listen to FREE music, but that too would be "unacceptably inferior to the original". SunnComm would not allow this AT ALL. TTRE Technologies: Software anti-piracy technology: TTR's proprietary anti-piracy software solution embeds a non-reproduceable digital signature on CD-ROMs that prevents unauthorized copies from operating. Designed for software publishers, TTR's anti-piracy solution is secure and transparent to the end user. Music anti-piracy technology: TTR's music anti-piracy technology is a unique hardware-based solution that prevents unauthorized copying of CDs. In 1999, TTR signed an agreement with Macrovision Corp. to jointly develop and market this technology. The demand for music copy-protection is very strong and promises enormous growth potential Music anti-piracy technology The Problem: The recording industry loses about $5 billion annually to global piracy of recorded music. Recently, this problem has become particularly acute for two reasons: First, because the cost of reproducing CDs has dropped to an easily affordable level, and second, because the widespread use of MP3 compression technology allows the easy downloading of pirated recordings. The Answer: TTR's music anti-piracy technology provides an effective answer. There are software based technologies on the market that claim to protect music during electronic transmission, but they are easily overcome. TTR's protection is imprinted on the CD itself during the production process. How it Works: During the glass mastering process, a specially modified CD encoder introduces selective alterations to the EFM data stream, without affecting the audio quality of the recording. This protection is transparent to the end user and the protected CD plays normally on any CD/DVD player. But any copy of this CD will abort or be unacceptably inferior to the original. Attempts to produce an MP3 file from a protected CD will result in an unusable audio. TTR's music anti-piracy technology is easy to use. A recording studio would provide data in the normal manner, while requesting the mastering facility to apply anti-piracy protection. The glass mastering facility can easily update their encoders to enable the application of TTR's music anti-piracy technology.
