Federal Judge Orders Shutdown of Innovative DVD-Streaming Service Zediva
- glimcat 15y agoYou can rent a DVD. You can rent a DVD player and cables. You can't rent a DVD, a DVD player, and a TCP/IP connection. It seems irrational to me that the length of the cables involved determines the legality of the thing.
- bane 15y agoNah, it's just the conversion of the video signal to digital packets and back again that's not allowed...because. Perfectly rational!
- jmilloy 15y agoSo this is a preliminary injunction... what exactly does that mean and what are the steps from here? At this point is it highly likely that it will be upheld and become permanent, or is there a pretty good chance the further litigation will change the ruling? Or is there no way to tell from here?
- glimcat 15y agoThere's not really any way to tell from here.
