New Acronym on the Radar: CPTWG [7:58 am]

These article of the past day on the subject of DVD copying and new 
alliances are based upon this group: Copy Protection Technical 
Working Group, who are not that new, but have been operating on 
several issues in the past (see the ADRG writeup from March 2003; 
also see the posting on the Broadcast Protection Discussion Group). 
Wired News has some background on what may prove to be an unholy 
alliance: Can Odd Alliance Beat Pirates?

IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Disney and Warner 
Bros. will work to develop the Advanced Access Content System, or 
AACS, standard for upcoming high-definition video recorders, players 
and displays. It’s the first time Hollywood and technology companies 
have agreed to work on such a project. In the past, tech companies 
have accused Hollywood of trying to impose too-restrictive copy-
protection technologies through legal and legislative moves, stifling 
development.
