Hollywood Studios Approve New Technology for Movie Downloads

Authored by dmw on January 4, 2007 - 2:31pm.
Los Angeles - The AP reported today that Hollywood studios have approved a new technology and licensing approach that would make it easier for consumers to burn movies purchased digitally over the Internet onto a DVD that will play everywhere. Introduced today, the solution - named Qflix and developed by Sonic Solutions – provides a standard digital lock to DVDs burned in a computer or a retail kiosk.

The lock, known as Content Scrambling System (CSS), is supported by the studios, TV networks and other content creators and comes standard on prerecorded DVDs today. All DVD players come equipped with a key that fits the lock and allows for playback.

"We are pleased and encouraged to see efforts like Sonic's creation of Qflix that addresses the need for industry standard protection," Chris Cookson, chief technology officer at Warner Bros. said in a statement.

Concerning downloading movies and burning them!

I think the studios need to take a flying leap. I have already bought hundreds of DVD's and would like to make backup copies of them and those people are worried about pirating They had 321 Studios Shut down basically. It is ridiculous how they are towards this.

When we where allowed to download music free years back they shut that down. What they did not realize was to get a crystal clear quality sound most the time you had to go out and buy the CD anyway. It actually generated more sales for them. Same with downloading movies off the net. To get the perfect quality you will have to go out and buy the DVD anyway. Even with High speed downloading it is still going to take some time to download a movie and it is much easier to go out and buy the thing at Walmart. The price of a downloaded movie would definitely have to justify the time to download it. I am talking about 2 or 3 dollars a movie download and if the connection breaks the download software would have to be able to reconnect and continue the download until it is done and check the movies integrity to make sure it is not a flawed download.

I do not see the movie industry that particular and in fact they more than likely will want the quality to be less that perfect so you have to spend more money to buy the real deal on DVD.

I also think they should allow at least one extra copy if it is perfect encase you scratch your first copy or lose it. SO you should be able to burn 2 copies of the same movie, not 1. They also should have the cover in Light Scribe technology so you can burn the picture right onto the disk in monochrome. That is the only way this will work. Personally I do not trust the Movie or Music Industry as they are already over paid in my view point. They like money and power and they feed on it.

Not just that I personally think those people at the Movie industry are Satan Worshippers because all the new movies are more blood and gore and sex. They have become so immorally disgusting that it is not hard to see how they would not rip us off if they could get away with it. That is what I see. Almost every new movie is a competition to see who can have the more realistic sex or killings or monsters and foul language and etc. What was once considered art has turned into smut. A true artistic movie would be like the old days where they show a guys shadow going after the screaming woman then you see a shadow of either a gun and shot and etc. But no real blood or gore and they leave it to your imagination as to how it happened. Then they come to the next scene of either a police line and taped off area or someone finding the person without actually showing the gory details and calling the police. That is art where you get the people involved with their own imaginations. They feel the way they want to feel and not the way some perverted hollywood director wants them to feel. Movies in the 50's and 60's and some in the 70's where much cleaner than what we have today and to me the whole moral fiber of our society is being effected by the movies these people see. It is like spying on something you yourself would never want to do or see in real life. The art of movie making has become the lost art of movie making. It has taken something good and made it into who can do the most bloody gory movie with raunchy sex. Wo can do the hardest stunts and most dangerous. When a actor is killed like Brendan Lee and nothing is done about it when he did his movie the Crow or whatever it was called. Things like that. It is dangerous to those doing the movies and those doing the stunts. It should not be at all? The scene should not even show the actual killing or at least show the guy shooting at a angle then have the other person at the end of the stunt gun spliced in later with his exploding blood vest and not able to actually accidentally get shot by the stunt gun and killed. Honestly I do not think it was a accident in Brandon Lee's case. I think it was planned probably by the perverted director.

That is the gore we do not need to see. At all. It is ruining the next generations of children. You want good young ones then you need to lead by example. This is not a example anymore. It is perversion. Not art. Smut! Then you have this perverted industry asking more and more for their smut. Not giving anyone a choice for real clean movies. In fact I have not seen a real clean movie this days. Like Doris Day movies and Rock Hudson Movies and things like that. Nothing clean like that anymore. Now the kids movies is teaching them to kiss and make out and etc. at very early ages. You call that safe for kids. Why not just inject them with AIDs and get it over? It is the same thing. The movie industry is showing the kids how to go out and live a life of selfish immorality. Just like they are! Instead of protecting the children and so forth they are saying hay go out and get pregnant or get some girls knocked up. Don't worry because we have abortions and you can kill the infant and start all over afterwards. Marriage, who needs it? You just go ahead and sleep with every guy in the world or girl in the world and have fun. If you get married do not worry you can always divorce later. Or like in the movies you can kill your spouse and you do not have to worry about the divorce proceedings? This is the smut they are teaching this generation. It is like the wife swapping back in the 70's. It doesn't work. You end up with divorces and 2 people win and the other 2 people lose out. It turns into a night mare. In our case the movie industry is creating a bunch of degenerates who have no respect for there elders and treat everyone with sarcasm and are bold and cocky and are unteachable and selfish with no self control and in some cases killers and kidnappers and rapists. The Jails are busting at the seams and they still do not have a clue! That is what I see here! They call it freedom of speech I call it insanity. It is fine to say what is on your mind but not teach people what is contrary to morality. You have to say it say it without killing and cussing and sexual perversion! Make it into real art not perverted art. When you go to art galleries these days you can see where society is heading. You have naked women with guns shoved up there private parts and the same with men and the sicker the art the more everyone is drawn to it these days showing the moral break down we have already. The same with movies. The more blood and gore the more people want to see it. Even the PG rating is what use to be considered R rating. It is all gotten sick. It is like the medical community. When your Anti Nuclear Anti Bodies or ANA titers where 1:20 ratio that was considered normal then they raised it to 1:40 ratio as normal since more people where showing autoimmune responses to the environment. They tried to raise it to 1:80 ratio but people where on to what was happening so they changed the whole method of reading and do not do the ratio's like that anymore and now more people are normal according to this new method of measurement they snuck in on everyone when in reality more people are actually having an increased inflammation in there bodies due to the chemical onslaught we are facing and it is being covered up by the medical community and government agencies. They are saying we have less than 10 years before we hit the point of no return on the environmental pollution when they where saying that back in the 70's. In fact in school back in the 70's by the 90's we where suppose to be living in glass domed cities due to the pollution. That is what we where taught. We have been past the point of no return for some time now. People do not have a clue! They like being lead around with a ring in the nose like a cow to the slaughter house. They trust this government and the medical community. Ask any American Indian how much they should trust this government? Those people where lied to so many times by the government just like is happening now. Get a clue. The Government is not working for you any more. It works for big business and industries, not individuals. It works for the Pharmaceutical Industry and Chemical Industry and the Movie and Entertainment and Travel Industries and Car Manufacturers and Oil and Energy Industries but not for us. In fact the less of us the better! The government wants to weed out the population or make them work for slave wages while all these other industries get rich. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. You want to see how to beat this system go to http://4405924.cyberwize.com. They have a product that detox's you and removes the bodies stresses. The business plan can make you rich. But it is a Business. Not a quick get rich scam like everyone is drawn to like fly's.

They now have a cure for cancer and a natural Chelating mineral that cleans the body of toxic chemicals and heavy metals also. Hopefully that will be offered by our the web site above soon? It is Patent # 6,288,045 B1. Unfortunately it is held by a pharmaceutical company CEO. You may never see it unless you want to pay a arm and leg for it.

Have fun everyone in your perversions of society and your toxic dump we now live in. Everything is money and greed!!! What about helping others? This business above will help you and others!!!
