Amaya Toman The arrival of new technologies is always a great thing. In today's part of our regular series dedicated to important events in the field of technology, we remember the beginning of the seventies of the last century, when the Ethernet connection was first put into operation. We'll also go back to 2005 when Sony came up with copy protection for music CDs.

The Birth of the Ethernet (1973)
On November 11, 1973, the Ethernet connection was put into operation for the first time. Robert Metcalfe and David Boggs were responsible for it, the foundations for the birth of Ethernet were laid as part of a research project under the wings of Xerox PARC. From an initially experimental project, the first version of which was used for signal propagation via a coaxial cable between several tens of computers, over time it became an established standard in the field of connectivity. The experimental version of the Ethernet network worked with a transmission speed of 2,94 Mbit/s.
Sony vs. Pirates (2005)
On November 11, 2005, in an effort to reduce piracy and illegal copying, Sony began strongly recommending record companies copy-protect their music CDs. This was a special kind of electronic marking that caused an error in case of any attempt to copy the given CD. But in practice, this idea encountered a number of obstacles - some players were not able to load copy-protected CDs, and people gradually found ways to bypass this protection.
