where does the security break down in music piracy??

(1/3) > >>

P2G:
i am not sure how it works.. but cds are always getting ripped bout 2 weeks before the release date.. here is actual cd at, 2 weeks from the release? a pressing plant? djs?

how does it always break down, and get leaked atthe same time.. and probably at the same place, cant they just tighten up how cds are handled before distribution? it could definitly slow down online piracy,  im not sayin thats a good thing, but youd think they would have some kind of tracking to see where its always breaking down.

what do u think

i love men who take pictures with their booty's out:






shit i would ask those snertni   how they do it

They don't have much choice, they would have done something with it if they could.

Basically, the CD must be ready, pressed and shipped, so the master copy is sent to CD fabrics, and perfect copies are sent to other CD fabrics around the world, as well as those responsible for the CD art, though I'm not sure if the CD fabrics do that themselves, they probably do.

Then there's the cover art/credits, legal stuff, etc. which also must be ready weeks before the actual release, so there's 100 different possible places it can be leaked from.. not to mention that they send CD's to journalists, TV, press, etc. for promo & reviews..
They could probably cut down bootlegging some days, but that would mean lost $$$ in promotion and not enough CD's for the global market for the release date..

Trauma-san:
Most of the bootlegged cd's online come from jounalists who get advance copies of the album to preview. 

Smart people at Smart record companies have found a way already to stop early leaks... for instance, the recent Brian Wilson presents "SMiLE" CD wasn't leaked early because all of the advance copies were digitally watermarked, so if it leaked, they would be able to trace the mp3 back to a certain copy of the album, and hence know who leaked it. 

Of course he probalby only had to send out 100 or so albums.  Eminem is a much bigger name, and probably sends out hundreds of albums for review before the street date, so it would be much harder and more expensive to watermark all of those albums.  I'd still do it, if I had anything to say about it.
