How about the enduser side of things? AFAIK the K-scape can and does autodownload software updates to the client’s system. IF they get a final verdict forbidding the DVD thing, will they (have to?) simply push a software…

Buying a table isn’t even remotely the same. You can put dishes on it, dance on it, burn it, or smear it with gravy and roll around on it. You could do the same with a plastic DVD. But if you made an exact copy of that table, the designer…

Also, the movie industry just wants this whole category to fail. An extremely simple solution would be to sell rental-only discs to Netflix et al with a flag that Kaleidescape and other movie servers would see and now allow a user to copy…

Brad - of course Kscape can decrypt a Blu-ray, how else would they be able to play it? What do you think a cheapo Sony Blu-ray player does? Otherwise you’d just see a blank screen or scrambled BS. Kscape is a licensee which is why they…

@ kabster… According to the content makers the answer to your first question is NO. There is tons of legal mumbo jumbo, no user agreements are the same and a whole lot of “consumer assumption” about how things “should…

When someone buys a DVD, CD or whatever, isn’t it theirs to do with as they will ? If someone wants to put it on their own personal media server so they can watch it anywhere isn’t that their right ? Where does that leave things…

I know the popular opinion is to side with Kaleidescape but only so our industry could sell an illegal DVD copy system. Granted, the DVD industry hasn’t been too good about protecting their product but the fact remains that everyone…

Kscape’s value going forward will be the software and hardware they have come up with. That stuff is rock solid, however once Plex is onto v1.0 they might have a problem. But still the hardware is awesome and doesn’t act like…
