Under the general name of Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DEC), the coalition was initiated by Sony Pictures but now includes Fox, Lionsgate, NBC Universal, Paramount and Warner Bros.. Microsoft and VeriSign are also signing in this initiative, as well as hardware manufacturers Cisco, HP, Philips and Toshiba. Alcatel-Luc and Best Buy are also part of the company.
Officially the goal is to create an interoperable but controlled approach to distribute videos online where buyers or people who rented content simply assume that the online video works. While the device player belongs to the user, the content is reproduced under an interoperable DRM. In a decade, Sony also contends that such a system would create an environment of copyright much more consistent: consumers would not have to deal with ever-changing boundaries of copy if they decide to change his shop.
On Monday, the study also noted that the rules also say would be freer than they are many services today. A buyer would have the option to make an unlimited number of copies, including DVDs recorded who have been regularly outside limit with content providers online today. In the stricter conditions, a user still would have access to a "blockade" which would reproduce some videos and content without involving any permanent copy.
But while the public is the goal of eliminating the isolation between stores, the filing Sony also intends to stop Apple. The giant of the films cited as the prominence of the iTunes music store as part of the "problem": by allowing existing stores owners, the music industry could be effectively controlled by Apple. The decision to lean toward the latter of downloads, has essentially arrinconado the market, Sony said.
Adopt decades as a standard that would prevent this will happen to the video by separating control of a single store and make the rights of service are provided to the end user.
The consortium plans to disclose its detailed strategy for decades during the Consumer Electronics Show in January, although it is described as an approach similar to standard Microsoft PlaysForSure. In his invention in 2004, the method enabled Windows Media ensure that the contents of stores outside always supported reproduced in computers and appliances adopted: that standard continuously striving to be accepted and its heavy reliance on software made by Microsoft has left the off-market today, where Microsoft is just a minority.
Both speculation as the line of work suggests that Sony's film studios are concerned about the elimination of DRM of their videos, which see it as something negative, because that would be too easy sharing and remove the obligations and avoid that companies could invoke the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to strengthen their rights.
