Maker of DVD-Copying Software Appeals Cases
A Missouri maker of DVD-copying products said that it has appealed a pair of federal court rulings that it stop making and marketing its software.
The company, 321 Studios Inc. based in the St. Louis suburb of Chesterfield, filed the appeals in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in California and the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York.
Federal judges in both states ordered 321 in recent weeks to stop marketing the software, siding with Hollywood studios that contended the DVD-copying products violate the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which bars circumvention of anti-piracy measures used to protect DVDs.
