[pchelpers] News:Samsung sued over encryption-ignoring DVD drive

by Justin Mann on Mon 20 Feb 2006, 07:03 PM
Samsung has found themselves in a bit of hot water, with a lawsuit 
against them filed by some big players like Fox, Paramount, Time Warner, 
Universal and Disney. The reason? A particular model of Samsung DVD ROM, 
the DVD-HD841, can apparently be used to circumvent encryption 
technology used to prevent unauthorized duplication. That model of 
drive, however, hasn't been available for a year and a half. Samsung is 
as of yet undecided as to how they will handle this issue.
