DVD body makes second attempt to outlaw video jukeboxes

November 5th, 2007 · 1 Comment

This week the DVD Copy Control Association will once again attempt to outlaw products which rip DVDs for use in home servers. The move follows a failure earlier this year to ban Kaleidescape from making and supplying high-end video server product. The DVDCCA proposes that it would become a violation of the DVD license for any company to produce any system that either allows a persistent copy of a DVD to be made, like a video jukebox, or decrypts a commercial DVD.
Michael Malcolm, the founder and chief executive of Kaleidescape, says that the organization will open itself up to “substantial antitrust liability” if it votes for the amendment.
