IFPI today announced the introduction of a new, optional logo that record companies may use to inform consumers that a CD incorporates technology to control copying.

The logo is available for use by record companies internationally, and is being announced in consultation with IFPI's national associations in 46 countries, and with music retailers worldwide. It could feature either on the artwork of the CD or as a sticker, and may be accompanied by additional information about the technology being used.
