Judge Cool to DVD Copying

By Zusha Elinson, The Recorder

Bart Williams calmly held up an "Eyes Wide Shut" DVD to emphasize how RealNetworks' new DVD-copying software will supposedly harm his Hollywood movie studio clients...

Corynne McSherry of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has been critical of the movie studios' claims, said the case is all about control.

"What this case is about iswhether Hollywood is going tobe allowed to control innovation," McSherry said. "Whether Hollywood can use its copyrights to control how people use what they own."
