Managed Copy, the cornerstone of the AACS content protection system might never actually get off the ground, reports ConsumerenCommunityServer 2008.5 SP2 (Build: 40407.4157)http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/archive/2008/04/18/1594147.aspx#1608898Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:02:49 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:1608898Proteus<p>Thats fine..they can screw themselves. Now we&#39;ll all just use &quot;unmanaged&quot; copy (AnyDVD_HD is wonderful to let you use YOUR content as you wish). Unfortunately, that just opens Pandora&#39;s box. Haven&#39;t those clueless morons figured out yet that copy protection workarounds are originally designed for fair use, NOT piracy? And that having something like managed copy provides very little reason for those workarounds to get developed in the first place? Its not like I WANT to burn 40GB of HDD space to store a $25 BD disk.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1608898" width="1" height="1">http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/archive/2008/04/18/1594147.aspx#1595375Sat, 19 Apr 2008 16:43:58 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:1595375Steve Anderson<p>Bummer... managed copy and the promise that it would be a mandatory part of the specification was a large part of the reason I didn&#39;t get too worked up over the demise of HD-DVD. I had assumed the media I&#39;d purchased would at least have the potential to be ripped to the PC, protecting my investment. Silly me....</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1595375" width="1" height="1">
