class=\"comment-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I forgot to complement Mr. Roberts on what I think is an extremely well-written article.  There are so many great pull quotes from the article I do not even know which to choose.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All of this comes at a time when musicians are having a harder time than ever. The record industry that once nurtured them has shrunk dramatically, CD sales are drying up rapidly, and internet royalties are not making up the difference.<br \/>\n&#8220;The source of them can be summed up in a sentence: the music royalty pie has shrunk significantly, and what\u2019s left of it is being distributed unequally. As an RIAA report in 2013 revealed, digital sales may be growing, but not fast enough to offset the long-term loss of CD sales.&#8221;  One reason CDs are drying up is because, e.g.,  Hyundai cars are eliminating the CD player.    And the digital download: you dont know what you are getting.   Imagine, you are paying for something, full price but then the music industry will make you pay again to listen to that track through a streaming service. That is deadly for sales.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Such piecemeal fixes also do little to acknowledge the current royalty system is broken because it\u2019s built on assumptions of the analog era.  &#8230;.  But on the bright side, the internet has introduced new efficiencies that make it easier to track song sales and distribute payments&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yes.. additionally &#8230; it is built on the assumption that you cannot track every listener listening to, say, WABC on Jones Beach.  But those days are gone, &#8230; now you can track every listener&#8230; and advertisers sure as heck want you to track every listener.  Blasting the same make-up commercial to everybody, male and female, on Jones Beach was the pits.  So if you are tracking every listener, why not track what they own, and what streams they are borrowing?  All this information of who owns what, and who is lending what, could be maintained on an exchange. That exchange exists. But yeah there has got to be some cooperation. There always has to be, for change to happen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While at the same time throwing the likes of Pandora and Sirius-XM under the bus when it comes to royalty rates. But for musicians and for consumers, there\u2019s really no reason why digital and AM\/FM should be treated so differently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bingo.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A solution from courts or Congress is in order. The danger, though, is that a partial solution will protect parochial interests such as FM stations or labels that own 1960\u2019s recordings without creating a sustainable system for royalties in the digital age.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sigh.  Unfortunately, yes.   The solution is to take a page out of what the financial industries do to solve the problem of digitized fungible commodities. The financial industries (and the Securities Exchange Commission) would not have tolerated Congress legislating to protect parochial interests. The financial industries are too competitive, and have to be for the health of the nation. The media industries (music, film, games and books ) need to be just as healthy, for the good of art as well as for the good of the health of the nation.  The Digital Content Exchange is a method based on wisdom gleaned from the financial industries.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"comment-sharing clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span

exactly what value do the recording labels provide?  With digital media they no longer provide distribution channels, production, or development.  Artist now develop at their in-home recording studios and can deliver directly to their fan base.  If the labels cannot find a way to add actual value to the market they don&#8217;t deserve to get paid.  Hopefully, the new direct model that bypass the recording labels will be liberating for those that do provide value.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"comment-sharing

I hope that court one day demand that terrestrial stations also pay as they&#8217;re asking Pandora and other outlets, who would be crying then??<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div

2015<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"comment-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"comment-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The recorded music industry\u2019s broken business cannot change (for the better) in 2015 because it is broken at a very fundamental technical level \u2013 that of the transparency and vulnerability of electronics audio signals; sometimes called the (intractable) analog loophole. The bottom line is that with minimal readily available signal processing, a perfect master copy can be made anywhere in the signal chain in digital form to be pirated and distributed.<\/p>\n<p>That may not be a permanent commercial threat if it\u2019s AM or FM (or even MP3) quality but as it becomes trivial to capture, store and distribute (pirate) the very highest resolution copies of musical works of art which Sony and Neil Young\u2019s Pono music promise to deliver to the consumer in the course of 2015 &#8211; in effect deliver the master copies of these works of art &#8211; then it is conceivable that even the comparatively modest revenues from the current digital streaming services will start to evaporate. This is a really bad. The musicians and their lobbyists need to get real because they are on course to see their industry reduced to &#8211; in effect &#8211; a sponsored charity supported by commercial advertising.  When that happens they will yearn for the \u2018better days\u2019 of streaming revenue from the likes of Pandora and Spotify. <\/p>\n<p>The only solution is to use bullet proof end-to-end encryption of the audio electronic signals into loudspeakers and headphones which can effectively mask the recorded music work of art right up to the point of acoustic output.  This may not be in the interests of the Consumer Electronics companies who have always taken the view that the purpose of software is to sell hardware. Apple included.  Specifically, the software and gaming companies have innovated continuously from the early 90\u2019s to ensure that their revenues continue to rise without the hindrance of massive piracy. I will go further and say that these IT companies have it in their power to help with the necessary innovation for a sustainable recorded music marketplace but claim that their software is different in that it is interactive and they can use that interactive attribute to protect their software products. This is nonsense \u2013 in fact it is necessity that is the mother of invention. The problem is that the musicians have an unhealthy panache to delegate the commercial realization of their works of art to third parties \u2013 presumably the name of artistic integrity. The popular music press and their journalists who should know better continue to support this act of gross delusion. Things must change.<\/p>\n<p>In the words of Samuel Taylor Coleridge &#8211; Suspend Disbelief\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tThe technology and a patent exists, and high-quality prototypes are being built, for loudspeakers and headphones that can play audio that is not only analog-encrypted but also encrypted specifically for the destination loudspeaker or headphone<br \/>\n\u2022\tThe only way to pirate the content would be to put a microphone in front of the speaker<br \/>\n\u2022\tIn combination with audio watermarking that is unique to each user, each song, and each device, this creates a marketplace where piracy is not a consideration \u2013 a genuinely sustainable marketplace<\/p>\n<p>I suspect that only dedicated musicians and true music lovers understand the imperative at hand. Things must indeed change but I suspect in the meantime the record labels and the digital streamers will perhaps unfairly be the whipping boys carrying the blame for completing the total destruction of the commercial viability of the recorded music industry in the digital age during this the early part of the twenty-first century.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"comment-sharing

agree with you on the threat at hand. But if there is one thing that has been tried time and time again it is encryption.  What&#8217;s never been tried?  Cooperation with a trusted-third party ownership registry.  <\/p>\n<p>Do not worry about encrypting anything: just worry about allowing users access to something they are not entitled to. Just like I am being blocked out of making this comment and must I sign in,  You should block people from accessing their media unless they are logged in and the trusted third-party verifies with they own or are borrowing and therefore have access to. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.authorstream.com\/Presentation\/frystew-1158142-new-dce-content-owners-explan\/\"

The enterprise encryption regimes deployed these days is really a joke and it is unsurprising that every day we read about some theft of private data. <\/p>\n<p>The music you get on Pandora and Spotify should really be free, like radio, but at a reduced quality level. What you should quite rightly pay for is the convenience of these services. But the revenue from just this streaming business is totally unsustainable if it is expected to support the entire recorded music business.<\/p>\n<p> A multi-level multi-price distribution system, ultimately controlled by the artists will restore the dignity to the artists which has been and continues to be eroded by the digital world where in reality everyone believes that if it is that easy to get then it should be free.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"comment-sharing clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"comment-fave\">\n\t\t\t<a

We are interested in the uniqueness of the User who is trying to access the file.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto-media&#8221; is an interesting phrase.  I will have to think on that. My 1st reaction is, &#8220;it is and it isn&#8217;t&#8221; crypto-media. &#8220;Crypto&#8221;  implies hidden or &#8220;not real&#8221;.  It is not just media that is declared to be media by consensus. If you put a song or a movie in your digital locker it is a real thing that you can use for something, i.e. play it.   <\/p>\n<p>And finally, I will gladly take an \u201conly partially connected digital world&#8221;.  At least counterfeit files are not being accepted for full-value in that &#8220;world&#8221; such as it is.  Hopefully the world would become more digitally connected as time goes on.  In the meantime, do not let the Perfect become the enemy of the Good.  The time for vendors to start sharing purchase\/purchaser information with thedce.com &#8230;  or to start registering your own personal collection on the Exchange .. is now.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"comment-sharing clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"comment-fave\">\n\t\t\t<a

Any DSP engineer worth his salt should know that if the signal can be properly bandlimited in the analog domain then a good A\/D converter can accomplish this task.<\/p>\n<p>Encrypting  up to the acoustic domain is sufficient for protection because  a microphone&#8217;s interaction with loudspeakers in the real world is much less than perfect as you put it.  Mono AM quality for free and HD Audio+ for those who want it at a price. A multi level, multi price distribution system.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"comment-sharing clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"comment-fave\">\n\t\t\t<a

agree. The more restrictive and protective the issuers of media become, the more resourceful and defiant the pirates will become. In other words, the ordinary consumer will be caught in the crossfire and end up not purchasing anything at all, as they have no interest in the dog-eat-dog world of digital music piracy. I know I would be perfectly satisfied with an analog recording of an analog source. After all, it&#8217;s what I grew up with.

The problem was created back in the early 1980s with the CD.  The music industry, in their headlong rush to open up a new revenue stream with a higher price point, did not pause to consider what they were fundamentally selling: no longer a a piece of vinyl, but a bunch of zeros and ones.  Thus commenced a process in music (shortly followed by video, books, and games) where content was released into the wild. Had they bothered to ask for ownership information when they sold the item, there would be a registry and the problem today could have been addressed .Unless there is  a late attempt to mobilize these goods through the DCE, these hundreds of millions of items of digital media will continue to be a drag on the system.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"comment-sharing
