Music bosses have unveiled a revolutionary new recording format that they hope
will help win the war on illegal file sharing which is thought to be costing the
industry millions of dollars in lost revenue.

Nicknamed the 'Record', the new format takes the form of a black, vinyl disc
measuring 12 inches in diameter, which must be played on a specially designed
'turntable'.

"We can state with absolute certainty that no computer in the world can access
the data on this disc," said spokesman Brett Campbell. "We are also confident
that no-one is going to be able to produce pirate copies in this format without
going to a heck of a lot of trouble. This is without doubt the best anti-piracy
invention the music industry has ever seen."

As part of the invention's rigorous testing process, the designers gave some
discs to a group of teenage computer experts who regularly use file swapping
software such as Limewire and gnutella and who admit to pirating music CDs.
Despite several days of trying, none of them were able to hack into the disc's
code or access any of the music files contained within it.

"It's like, really big and stuff," said Doug Flamboise, one of the testers. "I couldn't
get it into any of my drives. I mean, what format is it? Is it, like, from France or
something?"

Invention: Teenage computer hackers struggled to access the new disc.

In the new format, raw audio data in the form of music is encoded by physically
etching grooves onto the vinyl disc. The sound is thus translated into variations
on the disc's surface in a process that industry insiders are describing as
'completely revolutionary' and 'stunningly clever.'

To decode the data stored on the disc, the listener must use a special player which
contains a 'needle' that runs along the grooves on the record surface, reading the
indentations and transforming the movements back into audio that can be fed
through loudspeakers.

Even Shawn Fanning, the man who invented Napster, admits the new format will
make file swapping much more difficult. "I've never seen anything like this," he
told reporters. "How does it work?"

Pirates: Their days are numbered.

As rumours that a Taiwanese company has been secretly developing a
12 inch wide, turntable -driven, needle-based, firewire drive remain unconfirmed,
it would appear that the music industry may, at last, have found the pirate-proof
format it has long been searching for.

Kopierschutz hin oder her?

Vinylkopierschutz???
glaub net das sich das durchsetzten wird.
Alle Vinyl- user müssten neue Geräte kaufen.

Aussedem was nützt der beste Kopierschutz.
Analog Kopien wird es immer geben.
Und mit guten Geräten zu einer Qualität.....
das das net mal ein eingeschulter erkennen kann.
Sicher messbare Unterschiede wird es immer geben Nur wer hört das auf ner PA??
Keiner.

kopierschutz hin oder her.
sobald ich das file - welches format auch immer - irgendwie hören kann, gibts einen weg in den computer und somit ins internet.
kopierschutz ist wahrscheinlich nicht die lösung...

aber der artikel ist witzig

[Palermo]

übrigens...
wir könnten ja auch ab jetzt 14" vinyls machen, die kann auch keiner ins i-net stellen.
