This week , an impression of Universal , one of the “ Big Four , ” is going to start dropping DRM - spare video with acts like Weezer onto unknown “ file - sharing electronic connection . ” A stunning new go in counseling in the fallout fromJobs ’ “ persuasion ” ? Shnope : You only get half of the video before it direct you to the label ’s web web site to finish up it , complete with ads and all the other goodies you ’ve do to expect from prescribed distribution channels .

The Times claim that the move shows the “ transcription diligence is recognizing that it might have to loosen its ascendance to attract the giant interview found in mostly unregulated corners of the Internet . ” Wrong .
I do n’t see how freely distributing what amounts to unprotected ads , taking advantage of users ’ bandwidth for statistical distribution , is relax control or “ rethink[ing ] the rules of dispersion . ”
Nothing has change , other than that the ads are no longer false file from MediaDefender which promote Coke — now they ’re just promotional material for the labels themselves . Utter garbage .
