Audible Magic emerging as top copyright cop
LOS GATOS, Calif. - Vance Ikezoye didn't set out to become one of the digital revolution's top copyright cops when he first began tinkering with the technology that launched Audible Magic Corp.
At first, all he was looking for was a better way to identify songs and advertisements broadcast on the radio.
But Ikezoye's ambitions have shifted with the media landscape, positioning Audible Magic to control what can and can't be watched on the Internet. Online video sites are adopting its filtering tools to prevent the kind of copyright trouble that provoked a legal battle between Viacom Inc. and Google Inc.'s YouTube.com.
"It's been an interesting ride," said Ikezoye, Audible Magic's 49-year-old chief executive. "We are kind of in the middle of everything, where we are part mediator and part battering ram."
Audible Magic's system scans online files for copyrighted material, checking against a vast database of audio and video content provided by recording, movie and TV studios. After analyzing the digital fingerprints, Audible Magic determines whether the material has been authorized to be shared on a site like YouTube.
While several other startups are developing their own weapons to combat the unauthorized distribution of copyright music and video on the Internet, Audible Magic has emerged as the early leader of the policing pack.
"It's like everyone has to nail their houses together right now and Audible Magic is holding a bag full of hammers," said Forrester Research analyst Josh Bernoff.
Privately held, Audible Magic doesn't disclose its financial results. The company employs fewer than 50 people and expects to become profitable this year, Ikezoye said. Despite its Silicon Valley roots, Audible Magic is primarily backed by a Naples, Fla., venture capital firm, Tierra Del Oro, which has invested less than $30 million in the company so far.
Although YouTube and other sites revolve around homemade videos, copyright content has also helped attract millions of viewers to the Web.
In January alone, 123 million people in the United States watched 7.2 billion videos online -- an average of nearly two videos per viewer each day, according to comScore Inc.'s Video Metrix.
But audiences could dwindle while legal bills rise for Web sites that have been showing unauthorized video clips.
That threat crystallized this month when Viacom sued YouTube and Google for more than $1 billion in a federal complaint alleging YouTube hasn't done enough to prevent its users from posting thousands of copyright clips to the site.
News Corp. and NBC Universal recently underscored their growing impatience with the unauthorized use of their video by forming a new joint venture that will distribute their TV shows and movies on the Internet.
Those actions make it more likely that sites hosting online video will have to buy copyright-checking tools from Audible Magic or one of its rivals -- a group that includes Gracenote, Advestigo, Auditude and Vobile.
Another startup still in development, Attributor, is taking things a step further by developing software that is supposed to enable copyright owners to scan the entire Internet to uncover the unauthorized use of their material.
"Technology like Audible Magic is necessary, but it's still not sufficient," said Jim Brock, a former Yahoo Inc. executive who is running Attributor. "It still doesn't get you to the finish line."
Others remain uncertain whether Audible Magic will be able to protect video copyrights as effectively as it has done with music. "Video recognition creates some new challenges,'' said Dean Garfield, executive vice president for the Motion Picture Association of America, which is still vetting the approach of Audible Magic and 11 other anti-piracy vendors.
To make the leap to video, Audible Magic last year obtained a license for a technology called "Motional Media ID" that was developed by David Stebbings, formerly an executive with the Recording Industry Association of America.
The company says its patented technology is fast, simple and accurate, though Ikezoye declined to provide details on exactly how it works.
"We are very confident our technology will meet the needs of the marketplace," said Ikezoye, who was a marketing executive at Hewlett-Packard Co. before breaking away to become an entrepreneur in the late 1990s.
The list of Web sites that have recently bought Audible Magic's copyright-protection tools include MySpace.com, the largest online social network, and Break.com, an online entertainment channel catering to men. Online video site Revver.com also has been testing Audible Magic's copyright-screening tools.
YouTube's business relationship with Audible Magic remains a mystery. The San Jose Mercury News last month reported that YouTube had decided to embrace Audible Magic's copyright-checking system, but neither of the companies will confirm a deal is in place.
When asked whether Audible Magic is working with YouTube, Ikezoye smiled slyly and said he couldn't talk about it. A YouTube spokeswoman said the company doesn't comment about any technology obtained from outside vendors.
"As a company that respects the rights of copyright holders, we expect to continue to take the lead in providing state of the art . tools and processes for all copyright holders," YouTube said in a statement.
Audible Magic already endeared itself to the entertainment industry by developing one of the first solutions for detecting and deterring music copyright violations over file-swapping networks popularized by the original Napster and its imitators.
"We had to do something to stop this activity, so it's been gratifying to see how (Audible Magic) has used their technology in an affirmative way," said Cary Sherman, president of the Recording Industry Association of America, a trade group that has spearheaded the attack on illegal music downloads.
About 75 universities nationwide now rely on Audible Magic to monitor their networks for the peer-to-peer sharing of copyright music.
That number is likely to grow as recording industry and Congress pressure university administrators to curb piracy occurring on their networks. College students accounted for more than 1.3 billion illegal music downloads last year, or about one-fourth of unauthorized activity, according to the research firm NPD Group.
In a show of its appreciation for Audible Magic's anti-piracy efforts, the music industry invited Ikezoye to attend the Grammy awards in 2005.
But it's only a matter of time before loopholes are discovered in Audible Magic's copyright protections, predicted Peter Eckersley, staff technologist for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an online civil liberties group.
"It's going to become a futile game of cat and mouse," Eckersley said. "For every measure, there is always a countermeasure."
The Magic Sound 4 has a clear reminiscence of the brand's DAPs, with the same exterior treatment and the grooves that are already part of the brand's hallmark. Its size is 60x24x11.5mm and its weight is 18.58g. It is made of 6060 aluminium and painted in a deep blue. The texts are inscribed on the sandblasted/textured surface. On the main side you can see the brand logo in the centre, underneath you can read "192K/24BIT DSD128". On the other side each connection is named. Of particular note is the "4.4BLA" caption. Just beyond the centre of this side, closer to the USB connection, there is an LED that lights green when connected. The elongated sides have 3 fins with two slots, giving that radiator look that the brand's DAPs also incorporate. At one end are the 3.5mm SE and 4.4mm BAL audio outputs. The balanced output has a gold-plated connector, while the SE output does not. At the other end is the USB Type-C input.
Internally, the Magic Sound 4 uses the Sabre ESS ES9018K2M DAC. It also uses the RT6863 x2 amplifier chip. The audio power supply of the Magic Sound 4 amplifier adopts a ±5.5V boost and ±4.8V ultra-low noise LDO design, which effectively reduces power supply noise. The power supplies for the left and right channels of the DAC are separated, using two ultra-low noise 3.3V LDO power supplies to improve channel separation, in addition to the 3.3V power supply and the 1.2V power supply for the digital circuit. The Magic Sound 4 has 7 power supply chips in its small body.
The Magic Sound 4 stands out due to its distinctive design with its distinctive grooves on the sides, its sandblasted surface and its deep blue colour. Thanks to the 6060 aluminium, it is built like a tank and feels sturdy yet lightweight. The surface is resistant to fingerprints and looks tough against scratches. It is clear that ACMEE has not skimped on its construction, neither externally nor internally. Along with the design, they have done a good job.

I was very disappointed with the "Creepy witch sketches for Halloween" book. The sketches were not even remotely creepy, and the quality of the illustrations was poor. It felt like a rushed cash grab, with no effort put into creating truly eerie and chilling witch drawings. The book also lacked variety, with most of the sketches looking very similar. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for genuinely scary witch sketches for Halloween.
2. Jane Smith - 2/5
I had high expectations for "Creepy witch sketches for Halloween," but unfortunately, it fell short of my hopes. The sketches were somewhat eerie, but they lacked depth and creativity. It felt like the artist didn't push the boundaries or explore different styles within the witch theme. The book was also quite short, with only a few pages of sketches. I would have preferred a more extensive collection with a wider range of witch designs. Overall, it was a decent effort, but not worth the price or the hype.
3. Emily Johnson - 1/5
I regret purchasing "Creepy witch sketches for Halloween." The title is misleading because none of the sketches were actually creepy. They were more cartoonish than eerie, and the quality of the drawings was subpar. The book lacked any unique or original designs, and it felt like a collection of clichéd witch illustrations. Additionally, the book was overpriced for what it offered. I would advise others to avoid this book if they want genuinely spooky witch sketches for Halloween.
4. Mike Thompson - 2/5
"Creepy witch sketches for Halloween" was a disappointment for me. While some of the sketches showed promise, they mostly failed to capture the true essence of creepiness that one would expect. The quality of the artwork was average, with some sketches appearing rushed and hastily done. The book also lacked variety, featuring similar witch designs repeated throughout. Overall, I was underwhelmed by this collection and would have preferred more skillfully executed and genuinely unnerving witch sketches.
