![Rumor : Emagic, Apple and Proband ? - macmusic](http://inc1.440net.net/img/index.php/q/2KOdW7CsYG-0h-fb0JSarUh07Z-ooaVDo56drNnb4NDZgKKaiabv2ODMjVyoc1hznM7bi6aUb21gW6yXqZuNXLI)
AppleInsider said that Apple began sending letters to its Emagic software distributors, informing them that their services would no longer be required. It seems that some former Emagic distributors claim that the Xskey used to protect Logic applications from piracy is now being abused by Apple to solicit customer information, in order to help "Apple to dominate and control the music industry", a former distributor said.
On the same time, Apple registered the word "proBand" for a trademark. Peharps the new name for Logic ??
We truly hoppe that this rumor is not true, and that Microsoft (sorry I meant Apple) wont replace the network of professionnals audio distributors. Till now Apple called iPods and their online music store, "the music market". This is not exactly what we (musicians or audio professionnal) care about...
