... to Microsoft, Adobe, Radio, and Apple, demanding that the companies adopt its proprietary streamripper protection software, X1 SeCure Recording Control. MRT has always made a big deal about copyright protection—though usually in the service of selling its DRM solutions. When I spoke to CEO Hank Risan briefly back in 2007, he insisted that he was driven by a love of music and a desire to see musicians get paid. So are The Beatles getting paid?
