    Digital Rights Management: Towards a Balance between Copyright Rights and Fair Use Exceptions. Christian Bonnici Technical Report RHUL-MA-2009-08 16th February 2009 Royal Holloway University of London Department of Mathematics Royal Holloway, University of London Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX, England http://www.rhul.ac.uk/mathematics/techreports Acknowledgements I express my sincere gratitude to Prof. Dr. Keith Martin, my project supervisor, for his valuable advices and support throughout this MSc and especially during the project period. A special thanks also the course director, Chez Ciechanowicz, for his encouragement and help during the MSc, and Dr. Robert Carolina for his early guidance on the project topic. Thanks to my parents Joseph and Liberata for their continuous support and blessings. Last but not least, to all my friends for the friendship and support shared during and beyond this MSc. 2 Executive Summary There have been several attempts pointing towards DRM schemes that better satisfy Fair Use requirements [1, 2, 3, 4]; this project explores a new approach. Based on the idealistic premise that by mimicking the physical properties that prevented piracy in the pre-MP3 world into a post-MP3 world DRM scheme it should be possible to establish a copyright infringement control paradigm that is acceptable to all; this project establishes a Fair Use friendly DRM Scheme. It has been found that for a DRM scheme to be Fair Use friendly it has to aim to reach the following idealistic characteristics: • The copyright holders should not be able to interfere with usage which a judge would or could rule as fair use.

  • Can You Download Itunes on Android Phones
    can you download itunes on android phones Can I play music from iTunes on an Android phone? (reader mail) Kim writes: I am debating whether to move from my beloved iPhone to Android as it’s time to upgrade. Can still use music I bought on iTunes with an Android phone? Also, I bought TomTom’s satellite navigation app for my iPhone at a staggering $40 and I assume that I can’t use that, either. Have you any advice? Hi Kim! Well, I’ve got good news and bad news for you. The good news: yes, you should be able to transfer most—but, potentially, not all—of your iTunes music to your Android phone. The bad news: nope, your old iPhone apps won’t play nice with Android. First, let’s tackle your tunes—and specifically, why some of the tracks you bought on iTunes might not work on an Android phone. Until just a few years ago, Apple only sold copy-protected music on iTunes, and those DRM-protected tunes (“DRM” stands for “digital rights management,” by the way) will only play on devices (like your Mac, PC, or iPhone) that are authorized by your iTunes Store account. Starting in 2009, Apple reversed course and began selling “DRM-free” (or “iTunes Plus“) tracks on iTunes that will play on practically any digital music player—including, yes, Android phones. What does that mean to you? Well, if you bought any music on iTunes prior to 2009, there’s a chance you still may have some copy-protected music in your iTunes library.

  • Itunes, INTEROPERABILITY, and FRANCE's Dadvsi LAW by Deanasobel
    A BITE OUT OF APPLE? iTUNES, INTEROPERABILITY, AND FRANCE'S DADvsI LAW By DeanaSobel In the nearly ten years since computer software companies and content owners lobbied Congress for statutory protection against digital piracy, leading to the enactment of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in the United States, the role of technical protection measures (TPMs) in protecting digital media has developed into a globally contested issue. Traditionally, content providers regarded TPMs as a fail-safe system for protecting digital content. Both the DMCA and the 2001 European Un- ion Copyright Directive (EUCD), which harmonizes digital copyright law in Europe, recognize the importance of anti-circumvention legislation in stimulating the global digital marketplace. 1 Their theory is that safeguard- ing TPMs cultivates the digital marketplace by creating an incentive for companies to develop new products. Yet the role of governments in limit- ing the reach of TPMs is inchoate. For this reason, companies have been given free reign to use TPMs that not only prevent digital piracy, but also restrict how consumers use their products. This restriction has created con- troversy in Europe and beyond. In August of 2006, in order to implement the EUCD, France passed the "Law on Copyright and Neighboring Rights in the Information Socie- ty" known as Dadvsi.2 Under this law, individuals may now petition the government to compel the disclosure of TPM source code in order to per- mit product interoperability. Parallel to the enactment of Dadvsi, French, Scandinavian, German, and Dutch consumer groups have waged a cam- paign against Apple, creator of iTunes software and the iPod portable mu- sic player.

  • My Podcatching Setup
    My Podcatching Setup. For a while now I've been blogging, podcasting and twittering about my podcatching setup. Being the proud owner of some variation of Ipod over the last 7 years, one would say that the entire process would be delightfully simple and lack any complexity since its "Apple all the way". But nothing could be further from the truth, since I am a cross-platform, multi-os, multi location slider that hops around from device to device, from Lan to Wan. I switch operating systems faster then a compulsive clean freak switches underwear. Add the fact that I love to have "my technology work for me" and you have a recipe for "walled apple garden" disaster. One of the things I despise from the bottom of my heart is having to "hook up a cable" to a device that is completely capable of communicating via Wifi (or even 3G) to the rest of the planet and beyond, but that needs to tether to my imac, which is only 2 feet away. For years i've hated to get up in the morning, fire up the imac, download my podcasts (trapped in Itunes) wait for them to come in and sync them over by hand. So lately I have been looking for other solutions. Solutions that allow me to that meet the following requirements. An application (preferably compatible with Ubuntu) that downloads my podcast subscriptions. Downloads and updates of podcasts need to be done automatically. Application needs to erase old and stale podcasts automatically. I must be able to remote control my subscriptions (preferably via the web, the command line or via remote desktop) Podcasts must be stored in a format that is accessible via my entire network (via Samba or Streaming) A Podcast Player.

  • Mobile App Reputation Report
    MOBILE APP REPUTATION REPORT Summer 2014 WHITE PAPER Introduction The Appthority® App Reputation Report for summer 2014 provides an overview of the security risks behind the most popular mobile apps. For this report, Appthority App Risk Management Service analyzed the behaviors of Top 400 mobile apps: the top 100 free apps and 100 paid apps for both of the most popular mobile platforms, iOS and Android. The findings were compared against the data collected in the Summer 2013 report to provide broader insight into the evolution of the app economy and provide commentary on current app security trends. This year Appthority witnessed consistent risky app behaviors across both platforms and compiled the Top 10 Risky App Behaviors that put consumers and businesses at-risk. Appthority determined that the top risky app behaviors most often fall into one of two categories: sensitive data being captured and sensitive data being shared with third parties. What kinds of data are the most popular apps capturing and where is that data going? This report explains how risky apps access user and corporate data from mobile devices and how that data could be potentially misused. Appthority also examines which third parties are receiving or buying data. In the ongoing battle to determine which platform is more secure, iOS and Android are now nearly equal when it comes to the risky behavior of the top free apps. However, paid iOS apps surprisingly collect more data and share that information with more third parties than Android paid apps, making iOS slightly more risky than Android when it comes to data sharing.

  • Tech Tips Radio Fixed
    Tech Tips from Mr G How the Internet Changes Listening to the Radio Radio has sure changed a lot in the days since I was a kid. Back then, even though there were specific stations dedicated to classical, jazz, country, and easy listening; on the local Top 40 station, you could hear a wide variety of artists from the Beatles to the Supremes to Dean Martin to Patsy Cline, to Ray Charles, and even Paul Mauriat. If the artist sold enough records, you’d hear them on the station. This meant that the entire family could listen to one station. But in an interview on The Nerdist podcast, musicologist Barry Hansen, known to many as Dr Demento, said that over the past few decades, broadcasting turned to narrowcasting, as station managers learned to aim their programming at certain specific demographics in order to attract certain advertisers. I longed for the days when I could be exposed to a broad range of music on the radio, and even though it seemed at first as if the advent of the iPod and other mp3 players would increase the narrowness of narrowcasting, the rise of the iPhone, the iPod Touch, Android phones, and other app-driven devices have made it almost possible to listen like it was 1965 again. This handout will tell you all about that! Music: To Stream or Not to Stream Ah…that is the question! If you have an iPhone, an Android phone, or any other device that uses its cell service for always-on Internet, you have the option to stream music 24/7, no matter where you are.

  • Polwizjer Sigma Media Player
    Polwizjer sigma media player Continue Advertising for many personal audio-electronic devices, such as iPods and other MP3 players, play a key role in our individual entertainment life. Many of us couldn't imagine going to work or running without it. Tammy Clevenger there are several reasons why Windows Media Player may not identify CD information for the drive. To get information about CDs, Windows Media Player connects to the Internet and searches for a DATABASE of CDs. If you don't have an Internet connection, Windows Media Player can't get the information. Another reason why CD information may not be displayed is that the CD can be very rare or very new. In any case, information about the CD has not yet been entered into the database. Follow a few steps to try to manually connect to the cd information database for information about the drive. Click Start and then click the Windows Media Player button to open the app. Insert the CD into the CD. Drag and lower the tracks on the CD to the right Windows Media Player to add songs to the Now Playing playlist. The first track will be played. Click the Rip button on the top of the Windows Media Player menu. Click Find Album Info in the Rip menu. This action will force Windows Media Player to search for information on a CD to play the CD. The web page will appear in the center of the player's bar. Click the radio button next to the Album Title Search option. Enter the name of the CD that plays and click next.
