Free for a Fee

The RealDVD soap opera is finally over: RealNetworks has settled its litigation with the movie industry and has agreed to pay out $4.5 million to cover their costs related to the lawsuit. It has been a long and painful fight for the company, and RealNetworks has decided to move on rather than continue dragging it out. . . .  The company has agreed not to sell or distribute any technology that would enable duplication of content protected by Content Scramble System, ARccOS, or RipGuard.
