It is run by a group of enthusiastic Kaleidescape owners and dealers purely as a service to this community.

I doubt there would be any impact on the collections of current owners (it would be unusual in these types of cases), but of course you never know.

Seems to me that k needs to speed up their download service of DVD. This should eliminate the need for vaults as long as they can prove lockdown of the movie onthe server which they have already. My guess is they are close with this technology and it's not quite ready and by the time the appeals are over this will be the result for new purchAses.
To be honest, at that point, I'd just stick with an Apple TV.
Yeah but the whole point of the kaleidescape is the ability to watch movies without losing any of the dvd quality as well as the kaleidescap interface. Apple tv interface is not at all like kaleidescape.
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?
Not only is that not a factor for K, they have stated that any unfavorable ruling would result in further appeals. K is a financially sound company, fully capable of funding their legal arguments, both at the trial level, and any resulting appeals.

But it isn't just their legal argument but also the costs of the DVD CCA, which of course goes up with the appeal.
I'd guess that the total costs of the DVD CCA legal team over an 8-10 year period (assuming a few years on appeal) could be in the range of $2-4MM. I had no idea what type of profits Kaleidescape ran.
