Apple, Microsoft threatened with copyright lawsuit
Found on Forbes on Thursday, 10 May 2007
Microsoft Corp and Apple Inc could face a possible lawsuit for failing to include measures to control access to copyrighted material in products such as Vista OS, iTunes and the iPod, two companies have warned.
Media Rights Technologies and BlueBeat.com have issued cease and desist letters to both companies and to Adobe Systems Inc and Real Networks -- which produce the Adobe Flash Player and Real Player respectively -- for actively avoiding their X1 SeCure Recording Control, which they said is an effective copyright protection system.
Exactly. X1 is just as secure as CSS. No, wait... just as secure as AACS. No wait... Funny idea for a PR stunt but it won't stop them from failing though.
