Midbar has announced there are more then 30 million CDs protected with its audio copy protection Cactus Datashield. Of course no visitor of CD Freaks has ever seen this kind of CD, because according to the record industry people who use file sharing networks don't buy CDs .
But the protection has been pretty succesfull and is widely used. It is also likely that Cactus Datashield protection will be used on many more CDs.
It is clear that this industry is growing into maturity and the rate of adoption is increasing by the month. Midbar has come a long way in just this year with the introduction of two new versions of the CDS-200. The first, released in January 2002, resolved all known playability issues; and, the second, released in July 2002, added new and enhanced features in line with the demands of the marketplace," said V.P. of Sales and Marketing Mr. Noam Zur. |
"We are pleased to share that the feedback from the labels has been positive. The CDS product line has proven time and again to be the most effective solution in the market. Naturally, R&D efforts continue to focus on evolving the CDS product line into the next phase in order to remain one step ahead of industry challenges," said Zur.
The Cactus Datashield is a protection that actually isn't really complicated and record companies could probably even make a protection like this themselves, if you want to find out more about the protection, visit our Audio Forum!
