How do they expect to do this?
| quote: | | Sherman likened the system to the bar codes on merchandise bought in stores, but instead of appearing in print on the package, the code would be embedded in the digital content. It would include any limitations on the use of the music, such as an expiration in a set number of days |
Not gonna work, it will be a total failure. Sure people may rip directly from a CD and get tracked, but if you record the music indirectly, like through total recorder or from a cd player to line in then the bar code isnt passed along.
What does the RIAA think they are doing? Are they trying to disempower music listeners by trying to supress the normal way music gets around and trying to make users pay for it instead? I dont think so.
Surely there are way around anything...well almost anything.
May be they should spend less time on fighting mp3s since they are loosing a lot of money just to implement systems that wont work.
Its just like app and game piracy, its all a bunch of politics bullshit and money money money!
