Is SDMI trying to squelch Internet distribution of music?
No. In fact, SDMI is helping to enable the widespread Internet distribution of music by adopting a framework that artists, recording and technology companies can use to develop new business models. The Internet is fundamentally changing the way music is distributed – and it is an exciting time for consumers as well as for those in the music and the technology industries. However, as with all new technologies, it is critical that new advances do not erode legitimate copyright protections.
