EFF Presents The Carabella Game: The Quest for Tunes
Topic: Intellectual Property 7:01 am EDT, Jun 21, 2002

Carabella is a modern girl. She's hip. She's wired. And she loves music. Join Carabella as she explores the vast world of online music. But be wary! As Carabella surfs, her privacy is in peril, and her ability to use and enjoy the music she has bought is in danger!

Privacyactivism and the Electronic Frontier Foundation are proud to release version 1.0 of the Carabella video game. This interactive video game highlights the ways that consumers' privacy and fair use rights are being whittled away by digital rights management technologies, online spyware and data profiling services.

In Episode 1 of the game, you will follow Carabella as she tries to find and buy music by her favorite band, the Secret Irises. Carabella has various choices about how she can get the music. Each of these choices involves different digital rights management, which limit her ability to use and enjoy the music in different ways. The game's scoring system reflects the real-life trade-offs that face fans looking for music online. Carabella gets points for getting her music and loses points for making choices that take away her privacy and limit her ability to use the music, for infringing copyright in the music and for spending time or money to get the songs.
