Movielink Allows Users To Backup Downloaded DVD Movies
Santa Monica, Calif.-based Movielink has purchased technology from software company Sonic Solutions that makes it possible for customers to transfer the movies they download onto DVDs, according to a Sonic Solutions’ spokesman. This is great news for all those that legally pay for a movie and would like to watch it on device other than their personal computer.
In the past, top Hollywood studios–fearful of illegal copies being made by pirates–demanded that movies be protected by strict digital rights management software (DRM), which prevents movies from being copied to DVD. The problem with such a strategy was that many customers resented being forced to watch them on their PCs, analysts say. Now, Sonic Solutions is providing DVD-burning software that comes equipped with DRM protection, which would prevent the making of numerous copies, according to a statement from Sonic Solutions.
