Kaleidescape Gets Sued By Hollywood

Ultra-high-end DVD server manufacturer Kaleidescape is reportedly being sued by the DVD Copy Control Association in an effort to keep the company from selling any more products.

“The suit alleges that Kaleidescape’s products allow people to illegally make copies of movies using the Kaleidescape server.

Kaleidescape has historically been incredibly careful – if not paranoid – about such lawsuits and has gone to lengths to ensure that their products live up to the agreements that the company has with Hollywood movie studios. Their servers, which start in price from $27,000 and range to over $100,000, depending on how many rooms are involved and how much storage a client desires, are unique computers that are hard (if not borderline impossible) to connect to peer-to-peer networks. Kaleidescape can uniquely distribute video from one main location to numerous rooms.”

While we know that Kaleidescape has been working directly with Hollywood to try and be in compliance with their products, we couldn’t help but see this coming.
