08-12-2009 • PC World

RealNetworks may have lost its bid to sell software that lets people copy DVD movies to their computer hard drive. Judge Marilyn Patel of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted a preliminary injunction against the sale of RealDVD, extending a temporary injunction that has been in place ever since several Hollywood studios, including Paramount, Sony, Universal Studios and Walt Disney filed suit against RealNetworks last September.
