Piracy becoming legal? MPAA vs. RealDVD, MPAA sues back!
Hollywood has taken serious action on the part of movie makers against RealNetworks' RealDVD. The Motion Picture Association of America has decided to take RealNetworks' RealDVD software to the federal courts.
The MPAA wants a restraining order from the federal courts in order to stop the RealDVD softwware program from being sold. Why? It is because the RealDVD software from RealNetworks allows users to copy DVDs and store them on their computer hard drives.
When RealDVD was first released, the company claimed that it was completely legal and in no way violated Copyright laws, because of several things.
They were the first to start the fight, and decided to file a suit against all the major movie making studios and the DVD Copy Control Association. According to Real's press release, the lawsuit "asks the court to rule that RealNetworks Home Entertainment Inc.'s RealDVD software...fully complies with the DVD Copy Control Association's license agreement."
They are sitting on the fact that their software doesn't actually break any encrytion in the process of copying the DVD, and even adds an extra layer of digital rights management.
The MPAA filed a suit in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, claiming that "RealNetworks' RealDVD violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act because its software illegally bypasses the copyright protection built into DVDs." They also ask for monetary damages and this is what they say about RealNetworks's RealDVD.
"RealNetworks' RealDVD should be called StealDVD," Greg Goeckner, executive vice president and general counsel for the MPAA, said in a statement. "RealNetworks knows its product violates the law and undermines the hard-won trust that has been growing between America's movie makers and the technology community."While RealNetworks says their case was preceded by Kaleidescape's 2007 courtroom victory over the DVD Copy Control Association, the MPAA claim the two cases have nothing to do with each other. They fear people will be able to rip/burn/copy DVDs and keep them after renting by means of RealDVD. Thus, piracy will become far widespread and helped greatly by RealDVD. However, RealDVD doesn't believe this is the case.
"We are disappointed that the movie industry is following in the footsteps of the music industry and trying to shut down advances in technology rather than embracing changes that provide consumers with more value and flexibility for their purchases," RealNetworks said in a statement.
Will RealDVD win over the MPAA? Obviously, this is going to bring up a lot of questions about these kinds of software and exactly how far you can take "backups" and such. The questions relating to piracy are popping up everywhere, and it's not going to go away anytime soon. If RealNetworks' security methods are effective in stopping pirates, then maybe it would be okay for their RealDVD software to continue selling. However, it doesn't sound very effective at protecting DVDs from being illegally copied at all. I mean, how can you protect the DVD properly without having a guideline for the proper use of the stored copy? What kind of DRM could possibly justify the copying of a DVD? The only thing I could think of, is if the DVD had to be put in everytime, but then that makes the act of putting it on your computer useless. However, RealDVD allows up to 5 PCs to be able to play DVDs without the disc when authorized. Is this really giving protection, or just making piracy easier? It sounds pretty easy for somebody to illegally copy a rented DVD to their computer.

3 reasons why Wall Street problems will affect all including tech
Today: $700 billion bailout plan fails in the House of Representatives.
So many problems have come to attack the U.S. economy, and the government has failed to act to help Wall Street. However, Wall Street isn't the end of problems, because their problems and the credit crunch is going to seriously affect a lot of industries around.
It's something we really need to think about here, because much of the U.S. economy is based on credit, and with these massive problems plaguing Wall Street, obviously, that part of the economy will be affected.
Why and how will Wall Street problems affect other industries, and the technology sector?
1) The power of Wall street to drag everything else into their mess is enormous, because this is where much of the U.S. "credit" is. Banks are having a hard time getting money, and it's going to take down new companies, and companies that rely on loans for their business. They will be destroyed completely, and there's not much they can do about it either. Even large companies that rely on loans will suffer hugely.
2) Wall Street problems is causing a major shift in public perception of the markets everywhere. They are lowering investor confidence, and causing stocks to plummet. Not all companies have a massive amount of money just lying around to plow past this time of economic downturn. If investors lose their confidence, then many companies will see their chances of survival dwindle, or at least force them to stay dormant with little progress during this time.
3) Normal Americans will also suffer from this, if not remedied soon. We're talking major decreases in consumer confidence and consumer buying because of reason number 1. How much of American people use credit every single day to purchase items, or products or services? Almost all. How many rely on credit to help them with their everyday needs? You can probably answer that easily. The truth is, people need credit and they need to use it for spending! If people don't have the money to spend, we're just going to see a continued and drastic lowering of consumer buying trends. Think of what this does to companies! Companies need consumer business to survive. Regardless of what sector, they need consumers somewhere up or down the line.
How does Wall Street affect the tech sector? Just take a look at tech stocks and you'll see what's happening. Obviously tech isn't immune. It's just another sector where people are losing their confidence.
In the online advertising world, there may be serious problems with filling ad inventory, as less companies will be willing to spend a lot of money on advertising. It's not just the inventory either, as it is quite possible companies will be willing to pay less for displaying ads. They will all shift to the saving mode instead of expansion. Digg seems to have disregarded this altogether, but the fact remains, online advertising is far from immune.
The government really has to take action RIGHT NOW! It's really unfortunate that the bailout plan failed, and even Microsoft has asked Congress to re-vote on the matter. Something needs to be done if we want to avoid a cash freeze and other economic problems. This is just too important to be left alone.

1. Sponsored Posts
Yes, we do write sponsored posts on this blog, from various advertisers and with various 3rd party services such as PayPerPost. How can you tell if a post is sponsored? Well, usually it will have some sort of text written at the top of the post such as "The following post is sponsored". If not, you can also check the Labels. If it has NO label, then that means it is a sponsored post. Please check the labels if a post seems to conflict with other content on the blog or if a post seems suspiciously out of place and does not directly show in-post disclosure. NO LABELS = SPONSORED.

This blog may contain overlapped or conflicting content, if advertised posts conflict in opinion with original posts.
This blog accepts many or all forms of compensation in return for advertising, reviews, posts, discussion, and any other form of advertising.
I will disclose any and all posts which are COMPLETELY Sponsored. If any post is only partially sponsored or if any single aspect of a post is sponsored, then it may not be disclosed. For example, If I write a blog post as usual, but include a sponsored mentioning, then that post will NOT be specifically disclosed as being sponsored.

Why NBC's formula to fight piracy will change the Internet
In a world where almost all of us have heard of services like Youtube, Veoh, and such, there are many people trying to upload videos onto these online services illegally. For many years, companies have tried to combat the piracy problem, but it hasn't worked out well. However, NBC now has found a way to stop this, at least it's working for them.
Piracy was and still is a big problem. NBC is putting great efforts to discontinue piracy and their anti-piracy techniques seem to be working. How is it working? Take a look at when the olympics games were broadcast on MSNBC. At NBColympics.com and MSNBC, when the olympics were broadcast live, many people tried to upload videos to Youtube and other networks, but most people still went to NBColympics.com and MSNBC to watch the olympics online. This is because Youtube took off videos almost as soon as they went on.
NBC is clearly taking some big steps to team up with other organizations to stop piracy of videos. NBC partnered up with Youtube in order to get rid of copyrighted material as quickly as possible, and also worked with the Chinese during the olympics to stop the piracy of videos in Chinese video sharing sites. But it doens't stop there, because NBC is also promoting their own services as alternatives to piracy.
The heavily promoted their own site, as well as Hulu, so that these could be alternatives to watching videos on Youtube. Hulu became a place for viewers to find full length videos in higher quality than Youtube. By doing this with their own site and Hulu, they could make viewers stop going to Youtube for the video, and go redirect them to their own sites instead.
It's obvious that things are now changing, and NBC has started to work with companies like Youtube, instead of against them. It's a much more effective approach.
"Historically, there was a period where the conversation focused on the capability of technology to provide wondrous new access and wondrous new distribution," Cotton said Monday in an interview with CNET News. "In that old conversation technology's capability to define the rules of the road was dismissed, I would say by self-interested voices. But technology has an enormous amount to contribute in setting rules of the road."
"What people learned very quickly was what would stay up at YouTube were still photos of the (events at the Olympics)," Cotton added. "They could find photo galleries at YouTube and for video they went to NBCOlympics.com."
By this, we can see that viewers are finding good use for both services, and also in the right ways. Undoubtedly, as technology continues to advance, we will be seeing more of this in the future.
Why would these efforts be a big impact on the Internet and piracy? Because NBC is setting an example here, and it's a good one. The days of Youtube, Veoh, and other networks showing copyrighted material without authorization all the time are slowly disappearing. Many companies will likely to follow in NBC's lead, and battle piracy in this new way. There will always be people who will upload copyrighted video, but if enough copyright holders work together with services like Youtube, there will be significant change to us all.
Interestingly, Youtube is also going to make some Youtube only videos, but we'll see what comes of that. It's obvious that times are moving, and companies now see that an approach of suing Youtube like Viacom did may not be the best idea.
When you can't fight it, join it, and maybe it'll help you.
What do you think of this? Would you prefer to use services like NBC's own site and Hulu? Do you think video piracy will begin to stop? Give us your comments below.

BlitzTech Update September 2008
Another month, another huge BlitzTech Update!
There's been an obviously massive update regarding the looks on our blog. We've implemented a new template that looks much more professional than the one we had before. The only thing though, is that some of you may have liked the previous template better. Although, I somewhat doubt that, as the previous template was not very good... Anyway, credit must be given where it is deserved: This new template was not created by myself, although I did edit it, and somebody before me edited it too. To find more info on this template, just go all the way to the bottom of the blog and you should see it.
What else has changed? Other than the overall layout of the blog, like positioning and such, there has been little else significant physical changes. You may notice we got rid of the pile of sharing links and replaced it with a nice simple sharing button from addthis. We also now have some google ads, which I am still experimenting with, thus it could move around a bit soon.
What other changes have occurred? Well, we are starting to do some sponsored blog posts here and there, but I will make sure those posts do not get labeled and all of them will say "The following post is sponsored" at the top of the post, or something similar.
As well, I am planning to use a new background with this template to increasing the "blitz" look of the blog.
That's it for now, and be sure to subscribe to our feed to get regularly updated. I apologize for not being very up to date with what's been going on in tech news lately, but that will be remedied shortly.
