On December 10, in Vancouver, a summit meeting was held between
the representatives of the Electronics Industries Association of
Japan and the International Federation of Phonographic Industries
(IFPI). The IFPI represents record industry trade groups worldwide,
including the US Recording Industry Assoc. of America. The issue
of the summit was whether the IFPI could convince Japanese
hardware manufacturers of the EIAJ to incorporate anti-copy
chips in digital audio tape recorders before they are introduced.
The outcome? As expected, the Japanese politely told their
software colleagues to take their proposal, fold it two ways and
take it where the moon don't shine. The inside word is that the
Japanese came away from Vancouver more determined than before to
proceed with DAT without the prerecorded software commitment
they so earnestly sought.

Well, it basically stated that the argument between the manufacturers and the record companies still rages on. It also states that although DAT machines exist today, they are a few years from being sold in stores even if the aforementioned argument didn't exist simply because it needs to mature a bit. The thing that really t's me off is that home or studio (I like to call it "original") recording is never mentioned - never even considered! Of course, this can be attributed to the fact that more money is to be made in the commercial end of things... I guess that it is kind of useless to keep up with DAT until it exists - commercially, that is... Todd. | |||||
