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."

If you ever submitted a story you'd know its the submitter who chooses the title.

And if you've ever had a story accepted, you know that the 'editors' frequently change titles and summaries...
