Macrovision RipGuard-MoD & ACP for Recordable DVDs


Is DVD Copy Protection right for you? These two questions may help you decide:

1) Are you losing money because your Recordable DVDs are being copied?

2) Do your Recordable DVDs have an investment value worth protecting?

It's a fact that each and every year, billions of dollars in revenue are lost due to the unauthorized copying, or "ripping" of unprotected DVDs. Most people don't think of copying a DVD as being wrong, mainly because it's as easy as clicking a mouse nowadays. Independent market research shows that if the DVD isn't protected, then the consumer feels that there is nothing wrong with making copies of it.

Up until now, there has been no cost-effective or practical method to protect your investment, short of having to manufacture large 1000+ runs, to get mainstream copy protection applied. Macrovision's RipGuard-MoD changes all that. Now you can get the most trusted and widely adopted copy protection technology in the world, applied to your Recordable DVDs, on any quantity from a single DVDR on up.

Why should I protect my DVDs?

Protecting the DVDs you've spent time and money creating is just like closing and locking the front door of your house when you leave to go to work. If you don't close the front door and lock it, there is absolutely nothing preventing anyone from walking right in and taking whatever they want. It's the same thing with an unprotected DVD, nothing is stopping anyone from doing anything they want with it.

However, just because you close and lock the front door of your house, doesn't mean that someone determined to break into your house can't walk around to the back and bust in a window. It's the same thing with Copy Protection. Copy Protection protects against copying, but cannot prevent someone determined to break the DVD... just like a closed door and deadbolt lock won't stop the burglar who'se determined to rob you. What you must ask yourself is this "Should I not lock my front door when I leave just because someone who is determined to break into my house could anyway?"
