CHAPTER 3 MARKET CONTEXT
- Introduction
- Key findings
- What is DRM?
- What it is not
- "Fair use"
- How a DRM solution works
- Forward-locking
- The DRM end-game: super-distribution
- A complex billing environment
- DRM interoperability, death, taxes: some of lifes certainties
- DRM developers will need multiple licenses

- Trust and hand-off, the key issues
- Where is the DRM market today?
- File filtering yesterday, acoustic finger-printing today
- Audible Magic
- Gracenote
- Gracenote is a leader in the metadata field of music. When a compact disc is inserted into an (Internet-connected) PC or CE device, Gracenotes CDDB (compact disc database) technology recognizes the CD and its contents (from its database of music files) and populates the fields such as artist, title and publisher on the Windows Media player, iPod, etc. This clearly saves consumers an enormous amount of time. Gracenotes "MusicID" solution (which was boosted by the acquisition of CantaMetrix and its "MusicDNA" file sharing technology in 2002) offers a fingerprint filtering service to operators.
