InterLok Heads For Universal Binary, Will Enable Intel-Capable Music Software
InterLok Heads For Universal Binary, Will Enable Intel-Capable Music Software
by , 3:25 PM EDT, May 15th, 2006
PACE this past weekend said that its copy protection software InterLok will soon support Universal Binaries, which means that copy protection solutions such as the iLok key will soon be able to go Universal and enable the release of more Intel-compatible music applications.
According to Create Digital Music, such software as Ableton Live and Apple's own Logic Pro don't use iLok, which allowed Universal versions of them to ship before now. However, companies like AVID and DigiDesign use iLok, so the lack of Intel support in InterLok has kept them from issuing Universal Binaries of their applications.

Observer Comments
Software developers are scrambling to provide the latest feature that customers are demanding: stronger, more effective copy protection. "You know, I just bought a program and was able to install it on my laptop *and* my desktop - what's up with that?" said Steve Madison, a veteran Macintosh user. Another software enthusiast commented "It's just unprofessional for companies to allow you to make back-up copies of a software program without paying full price. I don't like it, and I won't stand for it!"
Business Software Alliance spokesman Dave Warner said "We had hoped that existing copy-protection measures were tough enough, but now we realize that our customers want to keep themselves honest - and they don't feel honest unless they remit the purchase price every time they use - or consider using - a piece of software. Unfortunately, existing copy-protection methods are inadequate to meet this need, but we are doing our best to improve them and deliver what our customers are demanding."
