Secure Digital Music Initiative
Creating
a Digital Music
Marketplace
What SDMI is:
• A multi-industry forum to develop a voluntary
open framework for playing, storing and
distributing digital music to enable a new
market to emerge.
• A forum for dialogue
Who has been involved?
• Broad multi-industry participation
• Over 120 companies and organizations blue-chips, start-ups, record companies,
Internet companies, software companies,
consumer electronics companies …..

Confrontation to Collaboration
• Legal rights difficult to enforce
• Need for technological solution
• Need for collaboration to allow a legitimate
market to emerge
Benefits of Collaboration
• New business models for music usage can
develop
• New products and services can be created to
support these new uses
• Consumers gain
– easier access
– to more music
– in new, more enjoyable ways
Pirate markets benefit no one
• Piracy-based markets are short-term only;
consumer frustration hurts everyone
• If content loses value, technology driver is
lost
• Lost opportunity for e-commerce
Legitimate markets benefit everyone
•
•
•
•
•
Easy access to music
Easy to acquire
Quality sound
New ways to use music
Interoperable devices
Legitimate markets benefit everyone
• Companies that make products
• Artists who make music
• Consumers who want both
Goals of SDMI
• To secure music in all forms, across all
delivery channels
• Brand music with indelible markings, at the
source
• Identifiers and usage rights data travel with
music
• All devices read and act on data in
predictable ways.
SDMI is commercially motivated
• Not intended to reinvent
• Intended to build on what has already
been achieved and what is already
available in the market
Short term need: Portable Devices
• Customer demand
• Technology partners eager to join that
market
• Internet could otherwise turn into a
permanent haven for pirated music
• Therefore, portable device issue had to
be addressed on a very fast track
SDMI on concurrent tracks
• Short term needs requiring prompt
resolution: Portable devices on a fast
track
• Long term objective: Meta-level
architecture
SDMI’s Launch
• February 26, 1999
• Executive Director - Leonardo Chiariglione
– Chair of MPEG
• Portable Device Working Group
– Immediately tasked with focusing on Portable
Devices
– Jack Lacy, Chair
– Met June 30, 1998 deadline for initial Portable
Device Specification
Portable Device Specification
Version 1.0
• Adopted June 28, 1999
• Released July 13, 1999, after technical
review
• Publicly available, along with overview and
FAQ, at www.sdmi.org
SDMI- Framework, Not Format
• No intent to select a
compression
technology (MP3,
AAC, MSAudio, etc).
• No intent to select an
encryption technology.
• Reasons:
– Technology is
continually developing
and will improve.
– Encourage innovation
and competition.
– Allow maximum
flexibility.
– Allow market to
choose the best
formats.
PD Specification Covers
• Application
– Program that manages import of content, music
libraries, playback and rights management
• Portable Device (PD)
– Device that stores protected content and plays it back
• Portable Media (PM)
– Media that stores protected content
• Licensed Compliant Module (LCM)
– Interfaces and/or translates communications between
LCMs and PDs/PMs
Core Principles
• SDMI components must respect any “usage
rules” - which describe how the content can
be used - that may come in the content in
the future.
– Any artist, band or record label that chooses to permit
unlimited copying will have that option.
– Any artist, band or record label that chooses to limit
copying of an original will have that option.
– This is a general principle for future application (e.g.
electronically distributed music), not current product.
Core Principles
• Any content to be used in an SDMI Portable
Device must be protected at all times after it has
been imported into the SDMI domain.
• Subsequent storage, use within, or transfer
between SDMI components must be done in a
manner that protects the content.
Core Principles
• Content must be bound to a Portable Device or
Portable Media.
– This ensures that a copy on a PD or PM will not
become the source for additional copies.
– This does not limit consumer usage because consumers
can make copies for any device they choose - and as
many devices as they need - and portable media can be
transferred among compatible devices.
Core Principles
SDMI components will accept both protected and
unprotected music, e.g. MP3 files.
– Unknown, unprotected music will be converted
into SDMI content and stored in protected
form.
– Music from unknown sources (garage bands,
church choirs) will not be excluded.
Core Principles
• Legacy content (music
on existing CDs) will
not be technologically
protected.
• Reasons:
- Effective protection is
not possible.
- Technological
impediments would
merely be minor speed
bumps to copying.
- Necessary in order to
permit church choirs and
garage bands to use
SDMI.
- Respects privacy rights.
Core Principles
• Future content (music on future CDs, DVD-A and
EMD) must be protected against Internet piracy.
– Mechanism for protection yet to be determined.
– One way this could be done is through a Dual
Watermark System.
• Robust watermark - will not degrade when compressed.
• Fragile watermark - will disappear when compressed.
• All music from unknown source passes through screen in
SDMI application. Screen only permits in content that either
has both marks or no marks.
Core Principles
• Personal copying of CDs is permitted;
Internet distribution without authorization is
prevented.
• Where “usage rules” are not found, SDMI
components will only make 4 copies from
every rip from the original. This allows
personal copying - as much as necessary but impedes piracy.
Core Principles
• SDMI technology must be robust.
– Security mechanisms must achieve certain
requirements.
– Tamper resistance in both software and
hardware.
– Content must be protected whenever exposed.
Implementation
• Devices to develop in 2 phases.
• 1st Phase
– Screen music for a signal - time to upgrade to
become a 2nd Generation device.
• 2nd Phase
– Dual Watermark or other system
– Only upgraded phase 2 devices will play future
releases.
Compliance with the Standard
• Compliance is a condition of obtaining a
trademark license to use an SDMI mark.
• Compliance is a condition of obtaining a
technology license for the Aris/4C
watermark.
Marketing Efforts
• Logo and Tagline for SDMI Compliant
products.
Expectations
• Some manufacturers have already
announced plans for SDMI compliant
products, and they should begin coming to
market by January, 2000.
• Goal and expectation is that SDMI
compliant products will overtake noncompliant products within a few years.
