    WHY “NOT- COMPRESSING” SIMPLY DOESN’T MAKE SENS ? Confidential IMAGES AND VIDEOS ARE LIKE SPONGES It seems to be a solid. But what happens when you squeeze it? It gets smaller! Why? If you look closely at the sponge, you will see that it has lots of holes in it. The sponge is made up of a mixture of solid and gas. When you squeeze it, the solid part changes it shape, but stays the same size. The gas in the holes gets smaller, so the entire sponge takes up less space. Confidential 2 IMAGES AND VIDEOS ARE LIKE SPONGES There is a lot of data that are not bringing any information to our human eyes, and we can remove it. It does not make sense to transport, store uncompressed images/videos. It is adding data that have an undeniable cost and that are not bringing any additional valuable information to the viewers.

The document filed by the CSC requested a public hearing/inquiry on the monopolistic business practices of General Instrument Corporation and the distribution and sale to consumers by the General Instrument division of Forstmann Little Corporation of a defective descrambling product which is used by consumers and cable operators to unscramble programming delivered over satellite. As a research and development firm which has spent the past three years developing a universal scrambling system designed to run multiple encryption and decryption processes through one single decoder, we submit that General Instrument has deceived the pUblic, the governments of the united States and Canada, television programmers, hollywood producers, satellite and consumer electronic retailers, and the manufacturers of Integrated Receiver Descramblers in the sales and upgrade programs associated with its videocipher II scrambling system, (exhibit A).

    Copyright and DRM

    CHAPTER 22 Copyright and DRM The DeCSS case is almost certainly a harbinger of what I would consider to be the defining battle of censorship in cyberspace. In my opinion, this will not be fought over pornography, neo-Nazism, bomb design, blasphemy, or political dissent. Instead, the Armageddon of digital control, the real death match between the Party of the Past and Party of the Future, will be fought over copyright. — John Perry Barlow Be very glad that your PC is insecure — it means that after you buy it, you can break into it and install whatever software you want. What YOU want, not what Sony or Warner or AOL wants. — John Gilmore 22.1 Introduction Copyright, and digital rights management (DRM), have been among the most contentious issues of the digital age. At the political level, there is the conflict alluded to by Barlow in the above quotation. The control of information has been near the centre of government concerns since before William Tyndale (one of the founders of the Cambridge University Press) was burned at the stake for printing the Bible in English. The sensitivity continued through the estab- lishment of modern copyright law starting with the Statute of Anne in 1709, through the eighteenth century battles over press censorship, to the Enlight- enment and the framing of the U.S. Constitution. The link between copyright and censorship is obscured by technology from time to time, but has a habit of reappearing. Copyright mechanisms exist to keep information out of the hands of people who haven’t paid for it, while censors keep information out of the hands of people who satisfy some other criterion.

    COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 24.04.2003 COM(2003) 198 final ON THE LEGAL PROTECTION OF ELECTRONIC PAY SERVICES Report from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament and the European Economic and Social Committee on the implementation of Directive 98/84/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November 1998 on the legal protection of services based on, and consisting of, conditional access Executive Summary This first report from the Commission on the implementation of Directive 98/84/EC, which aims to provide a minimum level of legal protection within the EU of electronic pay services (pay TV, radio and Internet services) against piracy, is part of the Commission’s comprehensive Internal Market strategy to remove barriers to services. It describes and analyses the salient facts relating to the key provisions of the Directive, looks at how these provisions are implemented and enforced by Member States and Candidate Countries, and highlights current trends in piracy. It covers the period from adoption of the Directive in November 1998 through to the end of 2002. The report finds that the knowledge-based economies of the 21st century are expected to rely increasingly on pervasive electronic pay services and that piracy will have the same detrimental effects in the knowledge society as white-collar crime and counterfeiting of goods in the 20th century. Legal protection against piracy of electronic pay services will make a major contribution to achieving the Union’s ambitious target of becoming the most dynamic and competitive economy by 2010. The report highlights the piracy resulting from the impossibility of accessing protected satellite TV channels originating from other Member States.
