The reported audio protection from Macrovision is already being used for the past months in the Netherlands.
Music Company BMG confirms that the protection is being used without a notice on the cd itself. They state that "they didn't have the time yet to tell the public about the protection".
The Dutch Association for the Audio & video Industry also confirms that the record companys are using copy protections on new releases.
Sony started using it's protection technique "key2audio" in an Austrian factory. "Although not directly produced for the Dutch market, it might be possible that products have been shipped to the Netherlands", Sony reacts.
But the most important issue with these protections is that the protection violates the Dutch Law that gives consumers the right to make 1 copy for private use.
大意如下:
現在已知的唱片公司如BMG公司已經開始不預告地製作出防拷的音樂CD,並且,該公司並不會先預告給社會大眾知道。Macrovision唱片公司已經在上個月時,對其在荷蘭所發行的音樂CD做出防拷的動作。而荷蘭的影音工會也證實了此唱片公司所應用的防拷是新釋出的類型。
Sony在澳大利亞的工廠一樣用了他們的新技術"key2audio"製作音樂光碟,再銷售到荷蘭,然而最重要的是,他們防拷的舉動所引起相當的爭論在於:{根據荷蘭當地的法令,Sony已經觸犯了[每一個消費者都享有自己一份私人的備份]的法令。}
