Real was relevant in the mid and late 90s when they pioneered internet streaming media. After various other companies came on the market, Real started just making worse and worse software that is full of malware, adware, spyware, etc....

Hmm... hmm...

I'll have to get back to you on that one]]>Oct 1st 2008 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/Oct 1st 2008 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/Oct 1st 2008 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/
At least, it was the best idea from a commercial sense.. so far.]]>Oct 1st 2008 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/Oct 1st 2008 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/
If this wasn't very expensive software, I would considering getting for my HTPC just so I could start and play a movie any time without keeping all my disks in the living room and having to get up and put them in.

Plus, right now my standalone DVD player seems to be acting up, and crashing in the middle of a movie. With this, no more problems. It would all just stream from the HD.]]>Oct 1st 2008 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/
Serious? There has been software to do strait rips and rips to compressed formats for years now. There are people out there who have ripped their whole DVD collection to one of their computers and stream them to their HTPC. There are even people NetFlix subscriptions that are doing the same.]]>Oct 1st 2008 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/
There is already coding on DVDs that prevent ripping it is called CSS and these system designed to rip DVDs are designed around it. In the case of Kaleidiscape it was meant for archival features and on demand + serving. One of the things that worked in their favor during that case is that you can not burn the DVDs to other disks it just stays on the HD which makes this case a little different because this will allow you to burn the final product.


However in the interetst of being fair I actually kind of agree. I am in favor of HEAVY DRM on rentals but not purchases and as long as the DRM does not inhibit functionality or compatability or require special HW or SW(whihc goes hand and hand wiht compatability anyways). I beleive if I buy a product I am entitled to full fair use.]]>Oct 1st 2008 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/Oct 1st 2008 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/
The fate of "RealDVD" doesn't matter to anyone, but it would certainly be nice if DVD ripping for personal use got some legal ground to stand on.]]>Oct 1st 2008 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/Oct 1st 2008 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/Oct 1st 2008 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/Oct 1st 2008 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/Oct 1st 2008 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/

So when a seemingly legitimate company like Real creates their own version of the software that actually enforces multiple layers of DRM, you would think the studios would get behind the effort and work with them in order to undermine all of the "illegal" circumvention tools already available. They would then be able to at least set some of the terms for the practice and perhaps find a way to allow people to rip their DVDs into their iPods in a managed fashion ala Apple's FairPlay. But no, what do they do instead? SUE THEM! What a pathetically typical knee-jerk reaction from the idiots at the MPAA. I'm sure even Real is frazzled at this point...]]>Oct 1st 2008 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/Oct 1st 2008 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/
People have been ripping DVD's to their hard drive for years now. Why is Hollywood suing Real? Makes no sense.]]>Oct 1st 2008 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/
The argument that people might rent a movie rip it and watch it after they sent back the DVD back is some how illegal is just stupid!!! If the MPAA had its way you would need an RFID chip in your head and a bar code reader on the dvd player that says you have the box before they would let you watch a movie. but only after you give them your SS# and a major credit card.

As for you the .01% of the world that archives anything they can get there dirty little hands on. This app is not going to help because they all ready have ripped every movie in blockbuster. and the idea that the MAN is watching them keeps them from downloading anything main stream.]]>Oct 1st 2008 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/Oct 1st 2008 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/Oct 1st 2008 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/

Classic idiotic statement by some hollywood exec making too much money to run their company into the ground. Hey numb nuts, that's a great question. Why not try using your brain and actually come up with $18.50 worth of value so "he or she" will go and buy the DVD instead of just rip a digital copy.

Here's another thought, screw the DVD format and distribute your "valuable" content another way using a biz model that isn't over 20 years old.

Never, ever, call someone a morron, dum, ideit, or anything else. It's kinda self-reflective.]]>Oct 1st 2008 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/Oct 1st 2008 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/01/hollywood-hates-fair-use-sues-over-realdvd/
Instead people are pirating movies just so they don't have to deal with this crap.

Anyone that has watched Charlie Wilson's War would have to agree that Gweneth Paltrow should be sued for forcing us to watch some African aids crap EVERYTIME we want to watch the DVD. Sure, somebody who pirates movies can easily get around this, but what about the rest of us who want to stay legitimate?? We need help, in legitimate ways.

P.S. any DVD Player manufacturers out there, can we please get a dvd player with a "just play the bloody movie without previews or copyright notices" button, if we want to watch that stuff we can do it via the special features part.
