Rimage's New Anti-Piracy Software

http://www.broadcastbuyer.tv/publish/IBC2007_176/Rimage_Offers_Powerful_Copy_Protection_Against_Content_Piracy_13078.shtml

So Rimage has come out with "DVD Video Protect", which is kinda nice. From what I can tell so far it "encapsulates" the original video from a master (sounds like it puts it into a folder) plus a few other tricks supposedly make it near-impossible to pirate.
Do I think it will work? Sometimes.
So you've copied the source video into a folder, that's going to stop only the lamest of DVD-ripping programs, and real pirates don't even use those programs. The benefit here is clearly for the motion picture industry, who really aren't even using duplication at all anyway. Most 99% of the DVD movies on the shelf are replicated in China. The problem is anybody on the planet can type "DVD Ripper" into google and 3 minutes they have bypassed 15 years of piracy obstacles. This indeed, will slow some of the kiddies down.. but the guy who's posting major motion pictures to TorrentSpy 3 months before the real DVD is released is going to have a laugh at this one.

Still, it's nice of them to try.. If you've got a use for an application like this give us a call and we'll help match you up with the right Rimage system.

In the end I stand by this motto: If I can watch it, or listen to it, on my computer, then I can copy it, and you can't stop me.
