RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser leaves federal court in San Francisco Tuesday after testifying. His company is being sued by motion picture companies who claim its RealDVD software could be used to circumvent DVDs copy protection. RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser took the stand Tuesday in his companys ongoing legal battle against the motion picture industry, arguing that RealNetworks DVD-copying software is not designed to create a free-for-all of illegal copying. Reals CEO argued that RealDVD, was absolutely not designed to facilitate the widespread mass copying of DVDs. We were both designing our product and marketing our product for legitimate use, he said. If they didnt want to be legitimate users, there were so many other alternatives they could go to and our product would be an inferior product. The software was abruptly pulled from the market by court order after the major studios sued RealNetworks, just weeks after RealDVD was introduced in September 2008. The legal dispute has pitted the technology industry against Hollywood. RealNetworks argues that its software simply gives legitimate users the freedom and convenience of storing their own DVDs on a PC, and with the motion picture industry arguing that RealDVD could be used to do things such as make illegal copies of rented DVDs. Glaser said that his company had been in discussions with studios to create technology that would distinguish rented DVDs from store-bought ones. RealNetworks also puts up reminders to users that they are not allowed to copy disks they do not own, Glaser said. The judge hearing the case, Marilyn Patel, then asked him if this effort would be more effective than the failed 1980s Just say no anti-drug campaign. Yes I do, Glaser said, arguing that the target audience for the RealDVD products was law-abiding. Its not trying to convince 15-year-olds not to experiment. Glaser argued that scofflaws are unlikely to use RealDVD, which costs US$30 and comes with copy protection mechanisms that make it difficult to disseminate any copies of a DVD. There are dozens of products that DVD pirates could use if they wanted to make illegal copies, Glaser said. All you have to do is Google DVD ripper. Computer users have been able to make unrestricted copies of DVDs since late 1990s when Norwegian hackers cracked the Content-Scrambling System (CSS) devised by the music industry to copy-protect DVDs and released their DeCSS software on the Internet. Real was sued by Disney, Paramount, Sony, Twentieth Century Fox, NBC Universal, Warner Brothers, Viacom on Sept. 30, 2008. It filed countersuit the same day. The DVD Copy Control Association, which licenses the CSS system, is also involved in the case. Motion picture attorneys spent much of the day Tuesday questioning their expert witness Robert Schumann and arguing that RealNetworks had deliberately circumvented copy protection mechan ...

McAfee anunció que la empresa líder en investigaciones Gartner, Inc. , ha ubicado a McAfee en el cuadrante Líderes de su Cuadrante Mágico de dispositivos de sistemas de prevención de intrusos en la red, primer semestre de 2009, según una publicación del 14 de abril de este año. Diario Ti: De acuerdo con Gartner, los proveedores que se encuentran en el cuadrante Líderes demuestran un progreso y esfuerzo equilibrados en todas las categorías de ejecución y visión. Sus acciones elevan la competitividad para todos los productos del mercado y pueden cambiar el curso de la industria. Para mantenerse en el cuadrante Líderes, los proveedores deben demostrar un excelente historial de implementaciones exitosas de IPS a nivel empresarial y ganar evaluaciones competitivas. Los Líderes generan más productos que brindan alta calidad de firma e innovan o se adelantan a los desafíos de sus usuarios (como el uso de inteligencia de endpoints para hacer detecciones más eficientes) con un rango de modelos. Los líderes ganan constantemente en las selecciones y aparecen por lo general en las listas de preferencias de las empresas. Sin embargo, un proveedor líder no es una alternativa predeterminada para cada comprador y los clientes no pueden suponer que deben comprar a los proveedores que se encuentran en el cuadrante Líderes. Entre los factores que contribuyen a la capacidad de ejecución de una empresa se incluyen los productos y servicios, la viabilidad general, la ejecución en cuanto a ventas y marketing y la experiencia del cliente. Gartner evalúa la integridad de la visión de una empresa considerando su comprensión del mercado, su estrategia de ventas y marketing, la oferta o estrategia de productos, modelo de negocios e innova ...

Las reclamaciones de usuarios de Internet y telefonía, tanto fija como móvil, recibidas por la Oficina de Atención al Usuario de Telecomunicaciones del Ministerio de Industria, Turismo y Comercio se incrementaron un 29% en el primer semestre de 2008, informó hoy el Gobierno en repuesta a una pregunta formulada por la portavoz parlamentaria de CIU, Inmaculada Riera. El Gobierno señaló que, si bien las reclamaciones subieron en línea con los datos globales de 2007 cuando también se incrementaron un 29% respecto al año anterior, esto no implica necesariamente un aumento de la conflictividad del sector o un menor respeto por los operadores del derechos de los usuario. El Ejecutivo explicó que el Ministerio de Industria ha comprobado que el incremento de las reclamaciones de los últimos años responde en mayor medida al grado de conocimiento que los usuarios tienen de la ...
