How will DMAT benefit artists?
The voluntary guidelines signified by DMAT will permit artists to distribute their music in both unprotected and protected formats – the choice is up to them. This means that those artists who choose to allow their music to be freely distributed without security will be able to do so, with the knowledge that devices carrying the DMAT mark will be able to play that music. At the same time, those artists who do wish to protect their own creative work can do so. Artists will benefit by the ability to reach and expand their fan base through new technologies, while respecting and protecting their copyrights to the extent they choose.
