Film Studios Sue Samsung Over DVD players

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the day-late-and-a-dollar-short dept.

Lam1969 writes "The Korea Times reports that five U.S. film studios have taken Samsung to court for selling DVD players which allow users to bypass DRM features. The film companies, including Walt Disney and Time Warner, are demanding Samsung recall the players. According to a Samsung spokesman quoted in the article, the movie studios probably 'take issue' with Samsung's HD841 model, which Samsung sold in the United States for five months in 2004."

    when in fact the Republicans were reducing the rate of increase

    Cutting the rate of increase to a point below the rate of inflation is a decrease in actual spending power of that budget. This is not "playing with words", this is the truth.
