Another sad news from the legal fight between Hollywood and Real Networks. US District Court ordered Real Networks to stop the sale of RealDVD as the product is illegal. RealDVD helps users to take the copy of DVD to to computer hard disk and Hollywood found it is against their business interest. Hollywood's official stand says any software or device which break the copyright protections of their DVD is illegal. It is because these DVD copying devices or software can be used to make pirated copy of their movie DVDs. Though Real Networks defends their product by saying RealDVD only helps users to take a backup of the DVDs they purchased , Court refused it.
Comment by Real Networks' acting chief executive Bob Kimball to this court order is : "I hope that in the future we can find mutually beneficial ways to use Real technology to bring Hollywood's great work to consumers." In latest news it is heard his company plans to appeal the preliminary injunction.
