"Clean up your networks" Midem You don't need to be a Kremlinologist to detect the latest shift from the sound recordings industry.

Instead the focus is squarely on getting the service providers to clean up their networks.â¦

(InfoWorld) - Microsoft Corp. Monday unveiled a digital rights management platform designed to protect a wide range of mobile content. Microsoft PlayReady, introduced atÂ the 3GSM conference in Barcelona, can protect standard audio and video files, ringtones, pictures, games, wallpaper and other content that operators sell to mobile users. The technology aims to support operators that are working to meet the growing demand from end users for mobile content, Microsoft said. A number of service providers including Telefonica SA, Verizon Wireless Inc., Bouygues Telecom SA and AT&T Inc. have said they plan to use the technology, Microsoft said. PlayReady supports a variety of models used by operators to sell content including subscription, rental and pay-per-view. It is compatible with Windows Media Audio, AAC, Windows Media Video and H.264 media formats. Mobile users who buy content with the protection will be able to move content between their devices. In addition, PlayReady is backward compatible with Windows Media DRM 10, so devices that support PlayReady can access content that carries Windows Media DRM. PlayReady will become available for implementation in the first half of 2007.

I saw an ad in yesterday's NY Times that offered the complete New Yorker magazine archive, including all the cartoons and ads, going back to 1920-something for a bit more than the hard disk would cost. The ad was from J&R, the company that makes the product is Pexagon. $149. Sounds like there might be DRM. I asked for something like this from the music business. A hundred gigs of popular music for $500, all pre-installed on the disk without DRM.  Someone at the New Yorker had this idea too? It's a good one. Bulk content for collector types. Another source of revenue. I want to run my own personal radio station, so having every song of a certain genre or from a certain period makes the diff.
