Let’s say you had the technology that DarkNoise claims they have. Let’s say it worked. You want to publicize your technology, so that people will buy it. Do you: (a) post a web page with a bunch of colorful graphs pretty clearly drawn in Adobe Illustrator and post a white paper with no real technical detail, or do you (b) maybe include a few audio samples, so people can hear your technology at work? This is an incredibly easy thing to demonstrate, if it works; you could even post before-and-after WAV files.

A group of technology heavyweights is expected to take the wraps off a secretive effort to secure music and video on wireless devices, according to sources familiar with the plans. Formerly known as "Project Hudson," the effort will kick off publicly Monday, with the announcement of new digital rights management (DRM) specification from industry group the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), as well as the formation of a new licensing body led by Intel, Nokia, Panasonic and Samsung that will promote the technology, according to sources.
