A San Francisco federal judge ruled on Friday that software company 321 Studios must stop selling its DVD-copying products.
In a ruling long sought by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), Judge Susan Illston granted an injunction against 321 Studios, saying the company has seven days to stop distributing its products.
The MPAA had asked the judge to block sales of 321 Studios' DVD X-Copy software, which makes uncompressed digital copies of DVDs, saying the software violated copyright laws. The software company countered that it was simply allowing consumers to make legal backups of the products they had already purchased.
