AMX's media server line axed over DVD ripping dispute

Looks like AMX isn't eager to be next in line for a battle after Kaleidescape and Real Networks, as it's chosen to kill the MAX line of multimedia servers, aimed at storing and streaming ripped discs, primarily in digital signage environments. CEPro notes several other similar servers that chose to fade out rather than fight the DVD Copy Control Association, while Kaleidescape is apparently still tied up in the courts, we're still wondering if legit disc ripping will arrive before Managed Copy.

the DVD CCA = douches

anyone that can affford Kaleidscape, AMX, etc etc all BUY THEIR MOVIES. The fact that the DVDCCA doesn't understand or care that we don't want a stupid piece of plastic and goes around sueing everyone is counter productive is only going to drive more and more people to illegally downloading movies.. Newsgroups with SSL encryption sound real nice ;)
