MPAA also sues DVDxCopy developers in the United Kingdom

September 2, 2003

On the website of the BBC we can read that The
Motion Picture Association (MPAA) has announced it will also be sueing 321
Studios in the UK, where it also has an office. The MPAA believes that the
products of 321 Studios, which allows users to make backups of their DVD movies, by breaking the
copy protection of the DVD, is in breach with the Copyright, Designs and
Patents Act 1988.

Lawyer
Nick Gardner alleged that the 321 Studios was in "flagrant breach" of the
copyright act, which outlaws the sale of devices or software which are
designed to defeat copy-protection.

"We want the High Court to grant an
injunction against 321 Studios so as to prevent the sale of this software
to consumers in the UK," said Mr Gardner. The company, 321 Studios, could
not immediately be reached for a comment.

More information on this upcoming lawsuit can be
found on the website of the BBC. Be sure to try DVDxCopy before it's
