Court orders film copyright guards in China-made DVD players
AFP - 2 hours 50 minutes ago
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - - A US court has sided with Hollywood film studios by ordering Gowell Electronics Ltd. to build piracy-thwarting technology into DVD players made by the China-based firm.
A US District Court in California issued an injunction Friday against Gowell as part of a breach of contract lawsuit filed by the Motion Picture Association of America, a group representing major US film studios.
The suit filed in June of this year accuses Gowell of making DVD players without Content Scramble System (CSS) anti-copying technology called for under terms of a licensing agreement.
"Compliance with the CSS license is a critical step in protecting copyrighted material from infringement," MPAA associate general counsel Dan Robbins said in a release.
"This judgment is another significant victory for content owners and further affirms that CSS licensees must respect the terms of the license agreement they signed by making secure products that protect the copyrighted content of DVDs."
