Re: [disklavier] Streaming Internet Radio that Plays My Piano

2014-11-17 by Mark Fontana

It seems like Yamaha could expand the market for Disklavier Radio as I 
described by watermarking the streams, telling the user this, and 
requiring the user to sign a strict EULA when subscribing to the 
streaming service.  If streamed content appears in the wild despite the 
EULA, they'd have a shot at determining who leaked it from the watermark.

Another solution (Disklavier-only) would be to have the external 
application transmit the wireline MIDI with encryption applied, then 
provide a one-time firmware update for older Disklaviers to detect and 
decrypt the encrypted streams.
