Chaos Music Market, a division of Chaos Multimedia Pty Ltd in Sydney, Australia, has become the first big customer for Liquid Audio Inc’s secure internet music delivery tool on NT. Conceived as a platform for Australian musicians to showcase their work, Chaos (www.cmm.com.au) contacted Liquid Audio in its search for a legally responsible and economically viable music distribution system. The Liquid Music Server software secures songs so that they can be played only on the Liquid Player that purchased them, and marks tracks with a digital watermark to identify the original owner. Liquid Audio says it has worked with performance rights organizations around the world to ensure that the system is trusted.
