Copying HD DVD And Blu-ray May Become Legal
MacWorld says that an agreement, in its final stages, with the movie industry could mean that consumers may get the right to make several legal copies of the Blu-ray and HD DVD movies they've purchased.
The agreement, if supported by movie studios and film companies, could allow a consumer to make a backup copy in case their original disc is damaged and another copy for their home media server, said Michael Ayers, a representative of an industry group that licenses the AACS (Advanced Access Content System) copy-prevention system.
