The Leading Technological Solutions for Protecting Music
Copy Protection and Digital Rights. They are the most critical issues facing our industry today. Record labels have the right to protect their high-value content. Consumers have learned to enjoy certain liberties. But when digital media can be so easily copied or distributed over the Internet without authorization, a middle ground must be found. As CD sales plummet for the second year in a row, it’s imperative that world-class technologies emerge to guard the digital rights of labels while still allowing consumers the freedoms they’ve come to expect.
Now it’s the music industry’s turn. After two years of research, development, trials and invaluable input from label executives and CD manufacturers, we’ve created an effective, practical, commercially viable solution: A flexible ecosystem that can be adapted to ongoing developments in hardware and software, and which addresses the concerns of labels, artists and consumers alike. It’s a scalable, deployable, and extensible set of technologies that are needed now more than ever …and designed with the future built in.
With the combined resources of Midbar Tech and Macrovision, we now dedicate the critical mass necessary to deliver on the rights management needs of the worldwide music industry. The result is The CDS™ System, our one-of-a-kind suite of products that delivers proven solutions with an ideal range of options, available through mastering and manufacturing partners in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America.
