Nokia, Intel, others start mobile anti-piracy push

Several top names in mobile phones, microchips and media—including Nokia, Intel Corp and Warner Bros—said on Monday they will work together to license an anti-piracy technology for sending movies and music to cell phones. An organisation formed by the companies will license to content providers, mobile phone companies and others an anti-piracy technology developed by the Open Mobile Alliance, an organisation of 350 mobile technology companies. The increasing speeds of mobile networks has boosted consumer demand for downloading music and movies on phones and handheld gadgets, though Hollywood and music studios remain wary of what could become another front in the battle against illegal file sharing.
