New portable video/movie rights planned | |

| Time: 11:15 EST/16:15 GMT | News Source: Macworld UK | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

A group of eight companies, including Warner Bros Studios and Walt Disney, has announced plans to make available a content-management technology, called Advanced Access Content System (AACS), that would allow consumers to copy prerecorded digital content, such as videos, and share it with networked and portable devices. The AACS technology is being developed by the AACS LA to manage content stored on future generations of prerecorded and recordable optical media, the group said in a statement. The technology will let users make authorized copies and share content, including high-definition video, with home-networked devices, including PCs, and portable devices, it said. | ||

I have no doubt that whatever comes out of this will protect Hollywood very well, and have little consideration for consumers rights.
There needs to be a consumers advocate on this board, but I don't see any. TL |

folks, READ the article before posting...
"In addition to Warner Bros and Walt Disney, the AACS LA also includes Sony, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Toshiba, and Matsushita Electric Industrial, the statement said. " MSFT is one of the eight companies. |

I still don't see any representation for CONSUMERS in there, and that's bad.

techlarry, is it typical to have a consumer group in this sort of organization? or are you just against it because msft is on board? don't worry, I'm sure apple will join soon enough. This post was edited by mooresa56 on Wednesday, July 14, 2004 at 21:23. |
