The major labels are introducing DualDisc, a CD-size format that contains music content on one side and DVD content on the other and, more importantly, that can’t be pirated.
[Via New York Times: Technology] "So far, Sony BMG has been the most aggressive of the major labels in involving marquee artists and promoting the format, according to several retailers. Since the DualDisc incorporates formats that already exist, it will have an advantage over other recent products, such as Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio, and retailers believe DualDisc will capture more of a market. Of the four major labels, only EMI Music has not yet announced DualDisc releases but it is expected to do so this year." Apart from the pull-quote above I see nothing in the article about copy protection. Interesting that Sony BMG are pushing Dual-Disc so hard, particularly since it's Sony who introduced SACD.
