Enjoy copying DVDs onto $5,000 boutique home servers? If you've got the dough,
ReQuest has got you covered -- CEO Peter Cholnoky says that even if California courts make the practice illegal, his firm isn't afraid to push back. When
CE Pro asked whether he was concerned about the fallout from the
Kaleidescape lawsuit, he said, "Nope, should I be?" adding that ReQuest could convert
existing equipment to use third-party DVD-copying software "in two seconds" should the courts try to shut him down. Given that the company's new $1,200 MediaPlayer (above) doesn't have the requisite DVD drive for ripping discs anyhow, that sounds an awful lot like braggadocio, but we have to say we love Peter's stick-it-to-the-man tone. Oh, and in case you're wondering, that MediaPlayer is slated to ship in June; you'll find a full spec sheet at our source link.
