Hollywood Wins Key Round Against RealNetworks’ RealDVD
Posted on August 12, 2009 |
Hollywood extended its nearly unbroken string of legal victories in defense of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act Tuesday when U.S. District Court Judge Marilyn Patel issued a preliminary injunction (PDF, courtesy of The New York Times) against the sale of RealNetworks' RealDVD.
RealDVD, a program that gave consumers a simple, and ostensibly legal, way to transfer the content of copy-protected DVDs to hard drives hit the market in September, 2008. Studios and the DVD Content Control Assn. immediately filed suit, claiming that RealDVD violated the "anti-circumvention" provisions of DMCA and quickly won a temporary restraining order against the program's sale.
