To date, Macrovision has contributed to the protection schemes ACP for DVD and AACS. In 2004, the company tried to buy its way into a different area of the digital content protection realm by purchasing InstallShield.
well i hope this company takes a different approach to BD+ than the previous owner...not making it so anti-consumer..
Knowing Macrovision and how well, and quickly, their previous attempts at protection have failed I wouldn't be surprised if this is good for BD+ at least from the consumer side.

its not a sony product which is rite but a company that helps sony with the garbage protection. They are still in the same boat to me but yea not a big sony fan myself but i was thinkin the same as Zippy sony has been selling off a few departments. But who knows it might be for the better for everyone involved.Lets hope for the best
They could have gave that 45 Million to Spielberg/Universal and we could have had Jurassic Park in HD
easier protection to get cracked so we can copy movies

Why would anybody in their right mind pay 45 million for a technology that has just been rendered useless by the boys at Slysoft.
