Letter from NAB to RIAA re: Encrypting Music on HD Radio Stations

[Mike_O]

www.nab.org/images/xertimages/corpcomm/pressrel/011106_DKR_to_RIAA.pdf should take you to a letter from NAB to RIAA that could have serious consequences for HD Radio if all or any music is encrypted on HD Stations.

The way the letter is worded, gone is the day when a station could spotlight an new or classic CD that would be uninterrupted or not encrypted so you could not make a recording of that radio station.

If the RIAA has its' way it could place a damper on HD Radio and halt all manufacturing of receievers and halt stations upgrading to HD Radio until the smoke clears on this issue.

RIAA = Greedy Bastards

perhaps they can trot out the evil Lars Ulrich to complain about people stealing from him as well...

Dear Customer:

Thank you for registering your HD3000 receiver. Your home market is 04/HOU.
Should you travel outside your home market, the roaming rate of 0.06 per hour shall apply. All A/B supplement media billed per use.

It's coming. Along with "per cell" advertising and a 100% accurate ratings system.

You really didn't think the digital upgrade was without really big strings, did you?

The RIAA needs to take a clue from the movie studios. Provide a quality product at a reasonable price, and people will buy your products. It's simple - The average low price of DVD's discourages pirating. The average high price of music CD's encourages pirating. This is why DVD sales continue to grow, and music CD sales continue to decline.

It's ludicrous that I can buy a 2+ hour movie with special features for $10, and a 50 minute music CD cost $15-$17. I haven't bought a new CD in many years.

Until the music industry figures this out, gray and black market music sales will continue to grow. Hackers will always be able to find new and inventive ways around their protections.

The movie studios are just as clueless as the RIAA when it comes to combating piracy.
You should see some of the (BLEEP) they put theatres through with their prints in the name of preventing piracy, particularly from Disney.
Many studios seem to think that most of the piracy still happens at the theatre level with a camcorder, which is not true.
They really should be looking within.
But who gets inconvenienced?
The projectionists and in some cases, the audience.
Go to a screening (the kind a radio station gives away passed for, not the sneak previews on the weekend that you buy tickets for) of a Disney movie sometime and you'll see what I mean.

Also, I read somewhere that DVD sales are starting to drop (can't find it right now though).
This being due to the fact that many people have finished stocking up on the classics and because so many movies coming out these days aren't worth buying.
