About Sonic Arts: Sonic Arts is a London based post production facility servicing the five major record companies. Sonic Arts is one of the pioneers in the protection of musical content in its crucial pre-release stage. Their technology enables record labels and content owners to distribute protected pre-release compact discs to management, press, radio stations etc.
Should the recipient of the protected material not comply, Sonic Arts is then able to trace any subsequent copies (or leaks on the Internet) back to the offending party. During the duplication process, Sonic Arts weaves an inaudible code throughout the pre-release material. The result is that each processed CD contains its own unique identifying code.
