Managed Copy implies control is not in the customers hands.

Still, if I understood right, don't kaleidascope and RealDVD or whatever actually leave the copy protection in place? So what law is broken? (I mean we DO still have fair use right? /sarcasm)]]>Aug 13th 2009 8:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/Aug 13th 2009 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/Aug 13th 2009 9:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/Aug 13th 2009 9:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/
Kaleidescape sells to rich people. Is the MPAA REALLY going to try and take something away from rich people?!

Pissing off rich people is a BAD idea. But I hope the MPAA pursue this because it'll be good for the rest of us "poor" people when the rich people's lawyers lay a smack down on the MPAA!]]>Aug 13th 2009 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/
The DVD Forum was looking into getting managed copy onto DVDs, but as current licenses don't allow that, was going instead to release a "DVD 2.0" format, which was backwardly compatible with DVD, that made MC mandatory and also offered a few other HD DVD technologies such as Advanced Content and Internet connectivity. I'm not sure what happened to that initiative, it was being headed up by Panasonic but a few months after it got off the ground the DVD Forum announced they were going to slow down a lot of the things they were doing.

And DVD 2.0 wouldn't exactly help you with your existing DVD collection either. In some ways, "Digital Copy" makes that aspect of DVD 2.0 redundant.

If the studios had any sense, they'd figure out a way to make this work. Unfortunately I think they've always been scared of the managed copy concept, rather than seeing it as a massive opportunity. Let's hope they move forward a little bit in the coming months.]]>Aug 14th 2009 7:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/Aug 14th 2009 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/
"Section 2.1.2, which dictates the process for using CSS's encryption and decryption keys, requires that products made by licensees play back DVD content from an actual disc. (1AA83-84.) More particularly, this section requires a compliant playback system to obtain - at the time of playback ("in real time") - two of the three keys from the "hidden Lead-in Area" and the "hidden Sector Header area," which are specific locations on a DVD. (Id.) The Kaleidescape System does not do this. (3RT232:2-234:19)"

...and is therefore in breach of the contract they signed. Now the DVDCCA will go to the California State Supreme Court to file an injunction against ALL Kaleidscape products made since the acquisition of the DVDCCA license.

This essentially boils down to fact that it is not possible to (1) be a member of the DVDCCA, (2) use their technology, AND (3) violate the terms of using their technology. So much for an easy and integrated solution from one manufacturer that sells something that can do it.

Whoops indeed...]]>Aug 14th 2009 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/13/kaleidescape-gets-in-line-behind-realdvd-for-rough-treatment/here.ccna certification is a certification in networking
