Real Settles Lawsuits, Will Stop Selling RealDVD

Posted by timothy on from the check-with-your-corporate-masters dept.

angry tapir writes "RealNetworks has agreed to pay $4.5 million and permanently stop selling its RealDVD software as part of a legal settlement with six Hollywood movie studios. The lawsuits date back to 2008 and Slashdot has previously discussed them. RealDVD is an application that lets people make copies of their DVDs."
