EMI experiments
December 8th, 2006, Tomasz RychlickiAs you can read in the article at www.arstechnica.com website, EMI, the music gigant is experimenting on selling music in MP3 file format, without so-called “DRMs” (the proper term should be rights-management information systems but as you can see it is really hard to say for the average man in the street). I wonder if it is a sign of change of views? What about the “legal trash” as article 7 of the Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society (Official Journal L 167 , 22/06/2001 P. 0010 - 0019)? We will see.
In passing, I would like to invite those readers who will be around to my lecture titled “Legal aspects of FLOSS licences”. The lecture is arranged by the Koło Naukowe Prawa Własności Intelektualnej UG. It is scheduled on December 8, ETA 3PM, room no 1039 at the Faculty of Law and Administration, University of Gdansk.
