article on digital protection:

Reuters

LOS ANGELES (Feb. 19) - Five giants of the computer and electronics industries have agreed on technology designed to protect Hollywood's most valuable products from being illegally copied, a newspaper reported Thursday.

The Los Angeles Times said Sony Corp, Intel Corp, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co, Toshiba Corp and Hitachi Ltd were expected to announce later Thursday a proposal to deploy encryption technology that will prevent people from making illicit copies of copyright digital content.

The deal could be a breakthrough for the entertainment industry, which has been wary of the ease with which digitally distributed material can be endlessly copied without any degradation in quality, the newspaper said.

''If somebody tries to violate a copyright, it won't work,'' the newspaper quoted Mike Aymar, vice president of consumer products at Intel, as saying.

''The goal is that you'll see products on the marketplace that support this by the end of the year,'' Aymar said.

The proposed technology would have no effect on televisions, video cassette recorders or computers already in use, the paper said.

It said the agreement was presented Wednesday in Burbank, California, to the Copy Protection Technical Working Group, a committee that is led by major movie studios and includes representatives of the music, computer, software and electronics industries.

E. >>Small item on the front page of IBD today reads that Intel began building a $1.5b advanced
logic wafer plant in Hillsboro, Oregon, due to open in yr 2000.<<

E., with all the talk of Intel here lately, lest anyone think Intel is "going after" smaller fish with that plant, that's not the main idea. It's going to be their "pilot" plant for 300 mm (12 inch) wafer, 0.13 micron technology development. What develops there will then be copied over to production plants around the world that need 300 mm, 0.13 micron capability.

Is this becoming an Intel thread? Fine with me, some good minds here to opine on Intel et al, as well as LSI. I'm personally getting tired of LSI.
