"This is another milestone for ContentGuard, as it gives us additional inroads into global media services and consumer electronics markets," said Michael Miron, Chairman and CEO of ContentGuard.
"Through collaboration with Thomson, our other investors and our growing base of licensees, we believe we can speed the use of DRM technology, in turn accelerating expansion of the digital media and entertainment markets."
"Today's announcement reflects an important step towards deployment of DRM and the new business models it enables," said Joe Berchtold, Vice-President and head of Electronic Content Distribution at Thomson. "We believe that the widespread implementation of DRM technologies is a critical step for the growth and success of electronic content distribution. We look forward to working closely with ContentGuard to promote standards and increase choice for consumers looking to watch video, play games and listen to music in new ways." 29.11.2004, ContentGuard, Inc.
