New York – A legal battle has broken out between RealNetworks and Hollywood. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) representing major Hollywood film studios, filed a complaint Tuesday against the Sept. 30 software, which it accuses of violating U.S. law on copyright by allowing consumers copying DVDs on their computers.
The MPAA accuses RealNetworks of encouraging Internet piracy by offering a software DVD copy, RealDVD, sold for $30 on the Internet. Walt Disney, Warner Bros. (Time Warner), Fox (News Corp.) and NBC Universal have, among others, joined the complaint.
RealNetworks, for its part seems determined to prove the conformity of its software to U.S. law. In launching the marketing of RealDVD Monday September 30, the publisher has started a preventive action against the Hollywood studios and the DVD Copy Control Association (DVDCCA), which works for the dissemination systems of protection on DVDs.
