    Kaleidescape launches movie download store

    I posted this on the CEPro article but would be curious to hear if you guys think this is going to be a big issue: "One thing that hasn’t been mentioned here is the download size of the movies. Assuming the numbers in the article (1.5 hours at 50mbps) I get just under 34GB per movie. Most...

    Kaleidescape back in court in May 2011?

    First post. I was reading about the Kaleidescape decision and found this site. I'm not an owner. How significant would court costs be if Kaleidescape had to pay them for the for the DVD CCA? Would it have a meaningful impact on their ability to run their business?
