Robert Moore, the head of 321 Studios, which sells its copying software for $99, said Thursday his company has the capability to develop other products that wouldn't be affected by an adverse court ruling against the DVD copying software "The future of our company is not at stake, but the future of consumers' expectations and what they perceive to be their rights are in question," Moore said " In a minor concession to Hollywood, 321's software adds to each blank disc a warning about copyright laws and refuses to make further copies from a duplicate disc S Unlike similar programs that can take hours to make copies and span most Hollywood movies across two blank discs, Xpress can squeeze a near-perfect copy onto a single disc in as little as 20 minutes Painfully aware of technology's impact on the music industry, moviemakers are headed to court Thursday to persuade U The powerful Motion Picture Association of America argues that this type of software circumvents the anti-copying digital "locks" that studios employ on DVDs, which would be illegal under the 1998 copyright law Sleight acknowledges that "probably the majority of people" use such software to make illegal duplicates â€â€? such as copies of DVD rentals or movies borrowed from friends " An increasingly popular class of software lets consumers make duplicate DVDs as backups by copying movies onto inexpensive blank discs using their home computers Hollywood Fights DVD Dupes May 15, 3:11 PM EST (Associated Press) -- Brian Martin, a computer consultant in Maryland, is careful when he handles the plastic discs in his DVD library of more than 200 movies Bass Web site with instructions on copying DVD movies But movie buffs who want to make backups of their treasured DVD libraries are running into a formidable enemy: Hollywood, where studio executives worried about convenient, widespread movie piracy are about as nervous as Abbott and Costello in the mummy's tomb "They're being a little overzealous in stopping me from protecting my assets "The worst thing is, one little scratch is enough to make the movie skip forward a chapter," says Martin, who estimates his collection at more than $3,000 Congress, which once appeared inclined to intervene, is sitting out until the courtroom fight gets resolved of Chesterfield, Mo "This case represents something very significant; it could set the standard "That's become really annoying with a few of mine Consumers-rights organizations and some technology groups contend that copying software doesn't unlawfully help users violate copyrights, because consumers should be allowed under "fair use" copyright provisions to make backups of DVDs they've already purchased The MPAA maintains that consumers aren't permitted to make personal backups of DVDs, saying a movie buff whose disc becomes scratched needs to buy a new one "They should target the people in China and the street vendors who sell them at a profit District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco to declare the distribution of such software illegal under the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act The legal battle, which focuses on software products sold by 321 Studios Inc , is emerging as one of the most significant technology debates in years "It's almost to the point of a one-click operation, where even the average Joe can make a DVD backup," says Adam Sleight of San Diego, who runs the popular Mr But accidents â€â€? and scratches â€â€? still happen There are typically no such locks on music CDs "That is probably what happens a lot of the time, but I think the movie studios should prioritize," Sleight said With two mouse clicks, one such package creates a near-perfect copy of a two-hour feature in as little as 20 minutes But experts note that other copying software, freely available on the Internet, doesn't include such concessions and can make third- and fourth-generation copies just as perfectly The true thieves are the people who make a profit off them " One advantage of his efforts: When Sleight makes copies, he eliminates five to 10 minutes of previews and advertisements that typically precede his children's movies " The latest software product from Moore's company, called "DVD Xpress," is enough to cause fits for studio executives , who doesn't use 321's software but has followed the technology debate Sleight says he's copied hundreds of DVD movies onto blank discs, including many Disney films for his two children "If I own the DVD and make a copy for my own personal use, there should be no problem with that," said Martin of Laurel, Md "This is an egregious violation," said Valentin Alexeeff, director of the Santa Barbara County Planning and Development Department Today, the once virgin land includes a dazzling Peter Pan theme park, complete with a zoo, a small railway system, an 80-seat theater, a Ferris wheel, carousel, bumper cars and a 25-room Tudor mansion County officials are considering legal action to collect back taxes and possibly fines Jackson had developed about 37 acres, according to county records Jackson responded by withdrawing from the program Last April, county inspectors visited the property and found it was not in compliance with the law governing the tax break, under which he was allowed to develop only 2 acres of the ranch That's not to say there aren't any cows Michael Jackson Claimed Farm Tax Break Apr 3, 12:57 PM EST Pop star Michael Jackson has saved more than $1 million in property taxes on his Neverland Ranch by claiming the California land conservation tax break, but a year ago, California officials decided he had developed too much of the property to qualify for it The tax break, which Jackson began claiming when he bought the property in 1988, reduced his tax bill by about half The Neverland ranch, tucked into the rugged coastal hills of Santa Barbara County, was enrolled in the land conservation program before Jackson bought it But this, state officials say, isn't enough to qualify the ranch for the tax break under California law, which is has more stringent requirements than land preservation laws in most states Over the hills from the grassy amusement park, Jackson leases 1,700 acres to the PotHook T Cattle Company which runs about 500 head on the property |
