Kaleidescape CEO Speaks Out About CSS Lawsuit

An anonymous reader writes "Engadget has an interview with Michael Malcolm, the CEO of Kaleidescape, which you might remember as the high-end DVD jukebox manufacturer that was sued by the DVD Copy Control Association for violating its CSS license. Despite the fact that anyone who can afford a $27,000+ DVD jukebox also usually ends up buying hundreds of movies to load onto it, the DVD-CCA wants them to redesign the Kaleidescape to require the presence of the physical DVD disc in the drive during authentication and playback. Besides defeating the whole purpose of having a jukebox in the first place (none of their jukeboxes allow for copying, streaming, or sharing DVDs), Malcolm says he can't find any clause in their CSS license which would require them to implement this "feature" anyway and they're about to file a counter-action against the DVD-CCA."

  2. HSWAA strikes again by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    The new HSWAA (Heterosexual Whites Association of America) scores in it's very first try against the GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) by exposing their new playpal: A Man Called Jeff, aka Jeff Gannon, aka James Guckert, aka W's favorite Gay Prostitute. Not only has the GNAA now infiltrated the highest levels of American Politics- they found a new boyfriend for Cmdr Taco in the process, and have forged an alliance with the NDCA (Neoconservative Death Cult of America)! They are the bane of good Heterosexual White Americans everywhere! Lynch a GNAA member today!
