The amendment is currently being considered by the Content Protection Advisory Council (CPAC) of the DVD CCA. If enacted, it would become binding in 18 months from the date on which the CCA notified its licensees, which include DVD hardware and software manufacturers.The DVD CCA needs to realize that CSS is worthless as a form of DRM. Amendments like this will do little to prevent consumers from making backups and will only put companies like Kaleidescape out of business. Then again, that might be the whole point of this amendment. If you'd like to read more, the entire article can be found here. Add a comment
The terms of the amendment, formally referred to as the "Unknown Specification Amendment," are just a paragraph long, and would basically eliminate DVD copying of any form, whether for the purposes of fair use or not.
The amendment reads:
"6.4. Certain Requirements for DVD Products. DVD Products, alone or in combination with other DVD Products, shall not be designed to descramble scrambled CSS Data when the DVD Disc containing such CSS Data and associated CSS Keys is not physically present in the DVD Player or DVD Drive (as applicable), and a DVD Product shall not be designed to make or direct the making of a persistent copy of CSS Data that has been descrambled from such DVD Disc by such DVD Product."

Japan's Toshiba Corp. aims to put disk drives for high-definition DVDs on all its laptops next year as it strives to gain an edge in the high-stakes next-generation DVD format battle, a Toshiba executive said on Tuesday.While this will definitely get more HD DVD drives out there, it will probably raise the overall cost of the laptop. As we've seen with the PS3, this is not the way to win over consumers. If you'd like to read more, the entire article can be found here. Add a comment
Sony Corp. equips its PlayStation 3 (PS3) game consoles with Blu-ray drives to win people to the rival high-definition DVD format, and Toshiba should use a similar tactic, said Toshiba Senior Vice President Hisatsugu Nonaka.
"The demand is there: people want to watch their favorite movies in high-definition on the road," he told reporters at a news conference.
