The Advanced Access Content System License Authority—AACSLA—has posted finalized specifications for the digital rights management system to be used on Blu-ray discs…and the final spec allows for so-called “managed copies,” whereby consumers will be able to make a pre-determined number of copies of content on Blu-ray media for personal use—although the number of copies is determined by the studios, and the copy is still protected with AACS or Microsoft DRM.
Earlier this month, computer maker Dell announced that, for an extra $20, it would pre-load the superhero movie Iron Man on selected new computers. Now, the company is expanding the idea, announcing a way for purchasers of new computers to “jump-start” their digital media collections by pre-loading movie bundles on selected new notebook and desktop computers purchased through Dell’s Web site.
The pre-loaded movies are offered through a partnership with CinemaNow, and prices for movie bundles start at $25. Title collections are “hand-selected” by Hollywood studios, and include offerings like the three recent Spider-Man films, the Matrix trilogy, every installment of The Fast and The Furious franchise, along with a childrens, romantic comedy, and comedy bundles from Paramount.
