Managed Copy on Discs before Players
Posted November 6, 2009 06:40 PM by Juan Calonge
Managed copy, the BD feature that enables consumers to make one copy of any Blu-ray Disc they buy, comes into effect on December 4, and most BD titles released after that date will support it. However, there are no players able to make those backups and thus the Advanced Access Content System License Administrator (AACS-LA), which also is in charge of managed copy, is delaying some requirements for studios until the second quarter of next year.
