Did anybody see MP3.com featured on the national CBS news? I mentioned this zdnet.com then it talked about MP3.com. The first time I read the article I must have missed the fact that the distributors are starting their own internet store. "All of the music is encrypted on the server using the Triple-DES (Data Encryption Standard) algorithm..." "... digital watermarking, which can be used by a company to track a file. If the file should ever surface again in public, the company will be able to tell to where it was first distributed... IBM can develop technology that will limit the number of times a file can be copied once it is downloaded." "...user can start downloading the digitally compressed music to a local hard drive. The music is then decrypted and the user can listen to it..." "IBM wants to experiment with several intellectual property-protecting technologies before it settles on the best solution for the music industry."
