Filing 52 ORDER GRANTING MOTION OF REALNETWORKS, INC. AND REALNETWORKS HOME ENTERTAINMENT, INC. TO BRING CERTAIN EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS INTO THE COURTROOM. Signed by Judge Marilyn Hall Patel on 10/23/2009. (ls, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 10/23/2009) |
Filing 51 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: the court GRANTS the Studio plaintiffs' and DVD CCA's motion for a preliminary injunction against Real. RealNetworks is hereby preliminarily enjoined from engaging in, or facilitating others in, manufacturing, importi ng, offering to the public, providing or otherwise trafficking in the product known as RealDVD, whether termed Vegas, Facet or another internal name, or any substantially similar software application or other product, service, device, component or pa rt thereof that circumvents or otherwise fails to protect against access to, duplication of, and/or redistribution of CSS-protected and copyrighted DVD content. The Studios and DVD CCA may submit a proposed order for injunctive relief if anything fu rther is sought, or if the parties can reach a stipulated proposed order for injunctive relief, they may submit it, without waiving any rights to appeal the injunction. RealDVD makes a permanent copy of copyrighted DVD content and by doing so breache s its CSS License Agreement with DVD CCA and circumvents a technological measure that effectively controls access to or copying of the Studios' copyrighted content on DVDs. Had Real's products been manufactured differently, i.e., if what h appened in Vegas really did stay in Vegas, this might have been a different case. But, it is what it is. Once the distributive nature of the copying process takes hold, like the spread of gossip after a weekend in Vegas, whats done cannot be undone . The court hereby converts the Studios' temporary restraining order bond, posted in the sum of $1,000,000.00 on October 6, 2008, to a preliminary injunction bond, to compensate Real for its losses in the event that this injunction is reve rsed or vacated. Real will be ordered to file a report in writing and under oath setting forth in detail the manner and form in which Real has complied with the injunction, within thirty (30) days after the entry of the order that confirms the bounds of this injunction. Until such time the injunction remains in full force and effect as described; Signed by Judge Marilyn Hall Patel on 8/11/2009. (awb, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 8/11/2009) |
