p2pnet - rss feed: Macrovision -v- 321 Studios
p2pnet.net News:- Macrovision Corp’s suit against 321 Studios is ‘fatally flawed’ and the case should be be moved to a different venue, says 321.
Macrovision says 321’s DVD X Copy family of DVD disk cloning software products infringes Macrovision’s copy protection technology, as well as violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
However, "Among other claims, 321 Studios said Macrovision has failed to cite any evidence of alleged direct infringement, other than the license that runs with every DVD player, and seeks an injunction under the DMCA for conduct that is not even occurring," says the St Louis Business Journal here, continuing:
"321 Studios asked that the case be transferred to the Northern District of California or the Eastern District of Missouri ’since there is no material connection to New York for either Macrovision or 321 Studios’," adding that a hearing for the preliminary injunction is scheduled for February 27.

Given Judge Illston’s decision in “321 v Hollywood” and vice versa, don’t count on a decision for 321 in this case.
It is darn well time to start taking Congress and the content cartel out of the equation. If you’re interested:

You cannot stop someone from protecting their investments. People spend hundreds of dollars on CDs and DVDs. They deserve the right to use recording or “imaging” software to make backups. This is clearly the case of the plaintiff choking the court into submission. This software is legitimate, and it is absurd to make it a crime to produce. People who want copies of their media will do so one way or the other. You can’t stop it. And the plaintiffs? They are steadily and consistently turning people against them. Essentially, they are creating their own losses.
Ironically, businesses now have the right to make backup copies of media and can legally create “clones” of their operating systems and applications. They can save their files to hard drives legally, not just CD or DVD media.
HOLLYWOOD. STOP THE PARANOIA. STOP THE WITCHHUNT. CHILL THE F$%K OUT! ~
