RealNetworks Picks A Piracy Fight

Date: September 30, 2008
Author: Andy Greenberg
QUOTE: ...RealNetworks, the maker of RealPlayer software, began selling RealDVD, a $50 program that allows users to "rip" DVD files from discs and store them in an iTunes-like library. The program rankles movie studios bent on preventing users from copying rented DVDs or ripping their friends' collections. But Real argues its software doesn't break the encryption on video files and is therefore legal.
