RealNetworks Breaks Into The iPod

RealNetworks Breaks Into The iPod 07/26/2004 03:32 AM
We've been complaining for a while now about how every single online music store that opens seems to come with its own format and its own DRM to make the music mostly useless for anyone who wants to actually listen to it. It looks like RealNetworks is looking to solve that issue by reverse engineering their way around any obstacles. The latest move is to figure out a way to reverse engineer (they claim it's not actually reverse engineering, but that will likely be for the courts to sort out) Apple's FairPlay technology, which Apple refuses to license. The question that everyone has now, is how long it will take Apple to sue RealNetworks for daring to make their iPods even more useful without first paying Apple.

Apple Fussy; Accuses Fuse Over Parody
Ads 07/26/2004 12:45 PM

Apparently Apple's none-too-keen on music video channel Fuse's new outdoor advertisements which mimic the iPod silhouettes campaign, replacing Apple's dancing music fans with people enjoying a nice pull of the beer bong or a casual round of self-pleasuring (suggested word: self-plaguing). The Post is reporting (haha, sorry, "reporting." That just kills me.) that Apple's lawyers have made a few nasty calls Fuse's way, threatening a lawsuit unless the ads are taken down. Adrants has a single ad, but I'm sure our legion of subway-riding readers can play the cameraphone tip to send us in the rest of the ads.

And as our buddy Plywood pointed out, Toronto's Flow 93.5 FM had an award-winning silhouette campaign about, oh, two years before the iPod campaign. (Thanks, gruverja!)

Harmony Technology Enables Consumers to Transfer Secure Digital Music to All Popular Devices including the Apple iPod and devices from Creative, iRiver, RCA, Rio, Samsung, and palmOne.

"Compatibility is key to bringing digital music to the masses," said Rob Glaser, founder and CEO, RealNetworks, Inc. "Before Harmony, consumers buying digital music got locked into a specific kind of portable player. Harmony changes all that. Thanks to Harmony, consumers don’t have to worry about technology when buying music. Now anyone can buy music, move it to their favorite portable device, and it will just work, just like the way DVD and CDs work."

Dispute 07/30/2004 03:56 PM
With the battle fully joined, RealNetworks defended its Harmony digital music software against accusations from Apple that the technology was "hacked" from the iPod's DRM (digital rights management) application.

"Harmony follows in a well-established tradition of fully legal, independently developed paths to achieve compatibility," RealNetworks says in a statement. The digital media specialist compares the situation with Apple to the creation of IBM-compatible PCs from Compaq.

Harmony translation software provides a way to transfer tunes from RealNetworks' music store to the iPod, as well as to an array of other devices, RealNetworks contends. "Harmony technology does not remove or disable any digital-rights management system. Apple has suggested that new laws, such as the DMCA, are relevant to this dispute. In fact, the DMCA is not designed to prevent the creation of new methods of locking content and explicitly allows the creation of interoperable software," the company says.
