Movie studios sue more makers of DVD copying software (DVDsqueeze)

Daily readers of our site will have noticed the
lawsuit of 321
Studios
against the Hollywood move industry to fight for fair use. Now the
movie industry is also in a legal battle with other DVD backup software
sellers. The somewhat fishy  Enterprises Inc., RDestiny LLC,
HowtocopyDVDs.com, DVDBackupbuddy.com and DVDSqueeze.com, are named as defenders
in this case.

Hollywood's major movie studios on Thursday turned up the legal
heat on makers of DVD copying software, squaring off against one company
in a California court and suing five others in New York.

In the latest development, lawyers for
Paramount Pictures Corp. and Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. filed for an
injunction in U.S. District Court in New York to bar five companies from
selling DVD copying
software


The companies in this suit seem not be producing their own software, but
are rather selling packages of freeware and shareware software accompanied with
tutorials and guides (available for free here too). Read the entire story here.
