MusicDNA in ‘fight against piracy’
p2pnet view Music:- “Musbook.com and musicDNA are very pleased to announce a collaboration that will lead to the integration of their services and technologies to provide a new eco-system for musicians and music lovers,” say the two.
A “new eco-system for musicians and music lovers”, eh?
Groovy.
MusicDNA “could prove key in the fight against piracy,” the Guardian has Stefan Kohlmeyer, CEO of Bach Technology which developed the file, stating.
“The information given with the legally downloaded files will update automatically with tour dates or releases, but pirated files will remain static,” says the story, continuing:
“It is not known how much the technology will cost. Bach says the price will be set by record labels and retailers, but hopes it will be in a similar range to current digital files. It will be launched this spring.
“The company has joined forces with independent labels including UK-based Beggars Group – home of Arctic Monkeys and Radiohead – as well as Tommy Boy Entertainment and Delta records in the US, though no major labels are yet on board.”
No need to stay tuned

I am willing to bet those at Bach know it won’t do anything but are smart enough to convince those behind the RIAA/MPAA that their product will help fight piracy. It’s money for Bach to fund R&D in something that will actually be useful and benefit society.
I’m certain most companies are doing this with those trade groups.
It works for the corporations behind the Military Complex.
It worked back in the 80’s with the “Star Wars” projects, all you had to do was say your research was towards it, and they gave you funds.
Paranoia is used for profit all the time.

And if I were to download “illegal” copies of these files, I’m going to give a damn about not getting updated band info
WHY??
