All four major labels and a significant number of independent music labels have already ditched DRM, and any remnants of it left on various online distributors (including iTunes) are sure to make their way out of the system throughout the year. Index Ventures, which has funded other startups like Skype and last.fm, appears to be thrilled about the partnership, citing doubleTwist as a "simple yet powerful solution for a growing consumer issue."Īctually, we wouldn't exactly say that DRM is a "growing" issue-especially with the looming death of DRM in the music industry. This is why it's even more curious that doubleTwist has already received venture funding, albeit from a European-backed venture capital firm. gorilla in the corner called "file-sharing" that will surely come under legal fire within weeks, if not days. DRM circumvention is not looked upon kindly by the law-specifically, the DMCA prohibits it except in specific cases. Again, doubleTwist promises compatibility with other social networks soon.Ĭonvenience aside, the legality of doubleTwist's venture is questionable. When I tried to use the app, however, it threw me an error (presumably because of heavy traffic). Users can select any number of music or video files (up to 10MB) and upload them through the widget, which will convert them to a sharing-friendly format and send them to selected friends. The second offering is "Twist me!," a Facebook application that lets users share files with their friends on the popular social network. (Even without direct plug-and-play with the iPod, doubleTwist can still read iTunes playlists and decode protected AAC files for syncing with other devices.) Advertisement Curiously, Apple's iPod is not listed yet, although doubleTwist pledges eventual iPhone compatibility. Supported devices so far include Sony PSP, Nokia N Series, Sony Ericsson, Walkman, and Cybershot phones, LG Viewty, some Windows Mobile smartphones, and the Amazon Kindle.
And for those who still like iTunes for media management, doubleTwist can directly integrate with it so that you can continue managing your music there. This means that, if you plug in your device to a Windows XP machine running doubleTwist, it will see any files (DRMed or not), convert them to an DRM-free format if necessary, and allow you to sync those files with another device.

From here, you can either sync up doubleTwist with your iTunes library (there is full integration) or share files with other friends who use doubleTwist-there is no file limit, but doubleTwist says that shared video files must be under 10 minutes and audio files under 20 minutes apiece.

With the desktop app, you will be able to plug in supported devices and have the software automatically recognize the media files stored on them, then transfer them to the computer and automatically convert the files (if necessary) to something without DRM. The two new offerings start with a beta of doubleTwist desktop, a Windows Vista/XP client (a Mac version is planned for the second quarter of the year). Our goal is to provide a simple and well integrated solution that the average consumer can use to eliminate the headaches associated with their expanding digital universe."

It can be an hour-long exercise in futility to convert files to the correct format and transfer them to your Sony PSP or your phone. "With digital media such as video from a friend’s cell phone or your own iTunes playlists, it’s a jungle out there. E-mail just works," said Farantzos in a statement. "When you receive an e-mail, you can read it on your Blackberry, web mail, or Outlook. Through a new venture called doubleTwist, DVD Jon (Jon Lech Johansen) and partner Monique Farantzos have already released a desktop and web application that makes stripping DRM from some of the world's most popular formats-including Windows Media DRM and iTunes' FairPlay-as easy as drag-and-drop.

He's no longer helping geeks free their media from DRM-he wants to make it easy enough for our parents to use, too.
