321 Studios Plays It Safe Against the DMCA

Posted by timothy on from the dispensation-nation dept.

mblase writes: "CNet reports on a request by 321 Studios to have it legally declared that their DVD Copy Plus software doesn't violate the DCMA. DVD Copy Plus works on a Windows PC by copying DVD video to a recordable CD in VCD or similar format. If successful, this could be a major legal weapon against the DCMA in the future. 321 Studios' press release is here."

    It's not Digital Copyright Millennium Act (although it may feel like it).
    It's Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

  3. DUH!! They're not "taking a stand".. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    They're doing an absolutely BRILLIANT marketing campaign. Remember those researchers who found out that children can't distinguish between advertising and content? Looks like that applies to Slashdot readers too...

    You really do learn everything you need to know in kindergarten.

    Remember when you accidentally or deliberately did something bad to a classmate on the playground, and you knew they were going to tattle on you, and you would run to get to the teacher before they did, so you could get the first word in the matter? And how it worked half of the time?

    Wow. :)
