The Motion Picture Association of America has filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court of Los Angeles seeking a restraining order against RealNetworks. RealDVD, which became available on Tuesday, violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the MPAA maintains. It is hardly surprising that the MPAA would take this stance. Using RealDVD, people can copy DVDs of movies and other content onto their PCs. This type of software is not new — but RealNetworks is the first large company to attempt to legitimize it.
