Digital Distribution of Music: The Way of the Future

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at the impact of the internet on businesses, specifically the music industry, and the benefits of systems and technologies that can be implemented to counteract the negative effects of the web on one's business.

From the paper:

"That is why the record industry launched the Secure Digital Music Initiative. This was supported by both record companies and hardware manufacturers, in December 1998, with a promise to have agreed on technical specifications by June last year. SDMI participants include music content, consumer electronics, information technology, and wireless telecommunication companies. SDMI's work is based on the core principles that copyrights should be respected, but that those who wish to use unprotected formats should be able to do so. (Teller, 2000) The specification developed by SDMI will answer consumer demand for convenient accessibility to quality digital music, enable copyright protection for artists' work, and therefore enable technology and music companies to build successful businesses."
