article published on 11 August, 2006
It seems like the movie studios have given up on internet piracy and decided to allow all people to copy to their hearts content without any ill effects. Well no, thats not the case, but in a revelation, it appears they just may be taking a step in a direction to meet the demands of consumers in a more convenient way.
It seems that DVD Copy Control Association, makers of CSS encryption ... [ read the full article ]

Well, its a step in the right direction thats for sure. Now if they relax the copy protection on HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Disks we can really get excited.

I wish the movie industry would figure out what I think Steve Jobs manage to convince the music industry: You will not stop copying. You don't WANT to stop copying. Copying is how your content spreads virally. What you want to do is make it less convenient to do MASS copying.
I can burn music from iTunes to a CD and give it to a friend of mine. I can do that several times. I would do this anyway, if iTunes didn't exist; I'd just copy a music CD I have.
This is GOOD.
But if I have a way to upload 400,000 songs to a place where anyone can get it, that's BAD.
Copying and sharing is the way that people learn about other artists, other movies, directors, actors, studios, etc. And that's what makes people buy / rent and go to the theater.
I already know I will see any movie with Kevin Spacey in it. That's because I have rented / bought / borrowed and received copies of movies from other people. Plus, I have gone to the theater.
Get with it folks!

CMAG are garbage bin blank DVD discs. Only problem Memorex make most of this. Check out the DVD-R forums here. Not one person supports CMAGs.

should the "burn your dvd at the local retailer kiosk" come to pass... i wonder if the price will be the same as current retail prices? will you get a printout of the cover, etc. and a disk holder? will i be able to take my verbatim disks in and have them burn a DVD-5 single layer? will shrink and ripit4me be available on the machine? could be a fun time at walmart/blockbuster/etc., but i'm not holding my breath.

That is 100% true.
The problem is that DRM makes it impossible or nearly impossible to excercise the very right you are talking about.

somewhat,there are ways around it but a better baance eneds to be made to allow for home copying but make mass copying and selling more diffcult.
there not even trying to bridge that gap they would rather change the wolrd so they can make more money off people that have to buy a replacement.

I think its like this they are laying off too focuss on some big copy protection for the next generation dvds or HD and Blueray so it will be impossible too copy and there wont be nothing we can do because they have our attention on the current dvds and these stupid kiosk.

Is it just me, or are most of the people posting here incapable of constructing a sentence?
