Sony BMG copyright issue has been around in the media this week.
Clever fellows have found a real innovative way to go around the issue – using transparent Scotch tape.
Yep, must say, the copyright protection is important issue for content creators. It seems that there is really no idiot-proof way for media giants to protect themselves of not being pirated. In a modern market economy, zero-pricing/fraud seems to constant unbalancing factor for media pricing. We will see more and more solutions, in which media companies will enter turmoiling protection solutions, even gain bad publicity by putting barriers to consumption.
The recent Finnish legistative debate and solution of copyrights makes case no easier. I just still do not get it how it can more punishable by Finnish Law to rip a CD that I own and have purchased from retail, than to download the same content online from P2P networks e.g. using eMule. iTunes rocks, it at least tries to match with the market demand and provide solutions for us, new generation of on-demand-media consumers.
