A small Californian software company has decided to take on the might of the US film establishment over its right to sell software which allows people to copy DVDs.
321 Studios is also aiming to get the controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) ruled unconstitutional because of the restrictions it places on US citizens over how they use their own property.
321 said its software - called DVD copy plus - enables people to create back-up versions of their own DVDs - a practice which is perfectly legal for CDs. However, under the DMCA it is illegal to copy DVDs at all.
The lawsuit was filed yesterday against nine major film studios, including Columbia, Disney, MGM, Sony, Tristar Pictures and Warner Bros.
