Intel und Bertelsmann join forces for GNAB P2P-Platform
Intel and Bertelsmann plan to cooperate in developing technology for downloading and sharing films, music clips and games from the Internet. This report is positioning this move in the wider context of the digital home, something that I will write more on later on.
Well, to me this smells a lot like the infamous “trusted computing platform” of late, when the hard-/software will actively hinder any attempt to infringe rules, but, hey, who is defining these rules of “proper use” … seems like Intel and Bertelsmann want to have a say when these rules will be coded – no surprise here.
The report states no more technical details, but, to my joy, it rightly states that:
Bertelsmann also has shown more flexibility and daring than its peers [in the media/music industry].
because, yes, it started early on, like the investment in Napster or by trying ventures like the late Snoopster (which nobody besides me seems to remember …) and alltogether has shown great flexibility and attitude.
