The twist to this story is that the DVD CCA is the licensing partner Kaleidescape pays off to have the right to bypass CSS copy-protection technology used by DVDs when making “bit-for-bit” copies for storage on the movie server, which are then available for in-home network distribution and viewing."</i><br /><br />Can't someone tell the DVD Copy Control Association that biting the hand that feeds it (or them) is always a recipe for disaster!? This whole thing just looks plain ironic. :roll:
