Page 1 of New Macrovision???

Hi All

looks like there will be a new updated macrovision incorporated
into future dvd releases to stop casual ripping and p2p shares.

here for short story.

no doubt some clever bod will quickly find a way around it so
that we can still back up our expensive collections?

........is that gasoline i smell?

I`ve had a look at the Macrovision website - and it`s 97% guff, quite frankly! The only part which makes any sort of sense is the "Unique Digital Framework" diagram, and that doesn`t suggest that the new protection will be particularly effective.

Also, they claim 100% compatibility with existing DVD players and DVD-ROM drives. If that claim is genuine, the protected discs would have to be entirely compliant with the DVD standard - which wouldn`t be likely if a highly radical and drastic method of protection had been used.

Time will tell - but the pirates are usually one or two steps ahead on these matters. :D
