Kaleidescape Triumphant in Court Case, DVD Ripping Ruled Legal
Jim Buzbee writes "Ever wanted to rip all your DVDs to a big network server so that you could select and play them back to your TV? Up until now, manufacturers have been wary of building a device to allow this type of usage because they've been afraid a lawsuit. The DVD Copy Control Association had claimed this was contractually forbidden, but now
a judge says otherwise stating, 'nothing in the agreement prevents you from making copies of DVDs. Nothing requires that a DVD be present during playback.' Kaleidescape has finally won their long-standing lawsuit, a case we first talked about early in 2005."
I hope they do and require a signature at the sale. that will kill them instantly.
Here's your new DVD sir, please sign here, here, and here. A copy will be sent to your lawyer.
Oh yeah that will make DVD sales go up.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
