Das leit ich einfach mal so weiter; Einverstaendnis des Verfassers kann man wohl unterstellen:
"...This New York Times article, excepted and linked below, discusses
various aspects of recording companies to regain control of the
distribution of their recordings. This article should prove interesting
to those in the electronic software book and journal publishing industries
where similar intellectual property concerns exist.

NEWS ANALYSIS
Record Labels Assert Control in
Cyberspace
By MATT RICHTEL
ALO ALTO, Calif. -- When it comes to portents of gloom,
doom and despair, the record industry has lately been ticking
off a litany of threats, real and imagined, posed by the Internet: Bands
selling new albums directly over the Net; independent artists and labels
posting thousands of music files online; music piracy on the Web, and
online audio sites creating vast libraries of tunes.
And yet, the major labels show no signs of ceding their reign
over the music business. In fact, despite a few early setbacks and some
critical hurdles ahead, the recording industry now seems intent on
taking a leading role in digital distribution.
That fact was underscored by the announcement last week that
recording, technology and consumer electronics companies had
agreed to standards for protecting music copyrights in online music
sales. In the last 18 months, the major labels have waged a
remarkably successful war against piracy on the Net, using their
music libraries and stables of
popular artists as tools to persuade technology companies to
cooperate, and have positioned themselves to dominate the
digital music era.
