The combined force of several studios brought a lawsuit against Real for its DVD copying software RealDVD. Although the case has yet to go to trial a temporary injunction has been extended preventing the sale of the $30 retail software. RealNetworks has determined that calling upon fair use is a fairly useless argument in the face of the DMCA. Discuss "Studios Win First Round Against RealDVD Backup Software" here. Read the article.

That money could be better served providing what clients want in the format they want it in, at a fair price. The studios have been sliding down this slippery slope for so long, I think they actually enjoy the ride going down hill!!!!!
