The company said that during the quarter Macrovision signed an agreement with Sonopress to be the first SAFEAUDIO(TM) Worldwide Reseller. Sonopress, a subsidiary of Bertelsmann Arvato AG, is a leading information media manufacturer catering mainly to the music, video, and computer hardware/software and entertainment industries. Marc Tokayer, chairman and chief executive officer, commented, ``In addition to our continuing development work on our SAFEAUDIO(TM) product, we continue to make progress in our efforts to leverage TTR's existing copy protection technology by developing a means of protecting against DVD-ROM piracy. We have a demonstration product ready and are investigating our options for marketing this product.
So I guess the cd's of BMG will have this new protection first. I would be very interested to receive their demonstration product and take a look at it. However something tells me, I won't receive such a CD...
Also nice to see that they are investing in infrastructure and security solutions for the DVD-ROM market... wonder what that will bring us.
