Media Server Manufacturer Wins in Court

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the gentlemen-start-your-rippers dept.

whoever57 writes "The DVD Copy Control Association (DVD CCA) has lost its bid to shut down Kaleidescope, which manufactures media servers that can copy DVDs (along with decryption keys) to built in hard drives. The DVD CCA claimed that this violated the terms of the contracts that control DVD-related equipment because the DVD need not be physically present for payback. However, the judge ruled against the DVD CCA on the narrow grounds that part of the specification of the Content Scrambling System was not part of the overall license agreement. This may open up the market for similar devices."

    I am now officially disgusted at this thread because every single post in it except for this one and the first one are, at the time of my posting, related to grammar or spelling mistakes in the summary.
